Removes noise and OSX artifacts from README

Some of the information herein was useful when I supported OSX, but no
longer necessary. Other information is encoded into the config files
herein and is less useful in written form in the README.

# Neovim ## True Color and Italics
The following snippet fixes the `<C-h>` issue in neovim on macOS. At the time of this writing, Suckless's `st` terminal provides True Color and
italics support. It's also important to test that this support remains when
``` inside of Vim or inside of a Tmux session or both.
$ infocmp $TERM | sed 's/kbs=^[hH]/kbs=\\177/' > $TERM.ti
$ tic $TERM.ti
```
## True Color and Italics in tmux and vim
### TrueColor ### TrueColor
Note: make sure that the terminal you are using supports TrueColor (hint: recent To test for your terminal's True Color support, run:
version of iTerm2 do). Also make sure that the tmux version you are using
supports TrueColor (hint: versions north of 2.2 should).
At each step of the way, test TrueColor using the following shell pipeline
(hint: the gradients should be smooth):
```bash ```bash
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JohnMorales/dotfiles/master/colors/24-bit-color.sh | bash $ test_true_color
``` ```
* Terminal: recent versions of iTerm 2 should support TrueColor Enable TrueColor in your `init.vim` (already done in this repository):
* Tmux: versions 2.2 and after should support TrueColor
* NeoVim: recent versions of NeoVim should support TrueColor
Enable TrueColor in your `~/.vimrc` (already done in this repository):
```viml ```viml
set termguicolors set termguicolors
``` ```
Enable TrueColor in your `~/.tmux.conf` (already done in this repository):
Note: This may conflict with the setting for italics. Need to verify to confirm
/ disconfirm this (pending).
```
set -ga terminal-overrides ",xterm-256color-italic:Tc"
```
### Italics ### Italics
In the file `/configs/shared/.tmux.conf` there is a line to add italics support To test if your terminal supports italics and other text treatments, run:
to tmux:
```
set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color-italic"
```
The `$TERM` entry, `tmux-256color-italic`, will be unavailable until you add the
file, `tmux-256color-italic`, to your terminal database. You can do this with
the following command:
```bash ```bash
$ tic ~/dotfiles/tmux-256color-italic $ test_text_formatting
``` ```
### Ligatures
### Powerline At the time of this writing, Suckless's `st` does not appear to support
ligatures.
Install Powerline...
```bash
$ pip install powerline-status
```
Install the Powerline fonts...
```bash
$ hub clone 'powerline/fonts'
$ cd fonts && ./install.sh && cd ../ && rm -rf fonts
```
Lastly, ensure that the line in `.tmux.conf` that sources the `powerline.conf`
is uncommented:
```
run-shell "powerline-daemon -q"
source "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/powerline/bindings/tmux/powerline.conf"
```
## Commonly used applications (Mac)
Thankfully `brew cask` simplifies the installation of many of my commonly used
applications:
```bash
$ brew cask install alfred dash slack 1password slack emacs dropbox iterm2 flux docker
```
The following applications need to be downloaded / installed manually:
* oh-my-zsh: a full suite of z-shell extensions
* homebrew: CLI for procuring third-party applications
* slate.js: resize and move your windows with keyboard shortcuts
* google chrome: web browser
## Commonly used fonts
* Install [Hasklig](https://github.com/i-tu/Hasklig) for ligature support in Elm, Elixir, etc
* Install [Operator Mono](http://www.typography.com/blog/introducing-operator) for expressive monospaced font
* Install powerline fonts
* Install Adobe Source Code Pro font for shell and text editors
### Ligature Support
To support ligatures make sure Hasklig is installed (link at the bottom). Ensure
that you are using an terminal emulator that supports ligatures. With both of
these tasks completed, ligatures should function in Neovim.
