My Mac Configuration
I'm documenting this primarily for personal use. This reposity contains shell configs, vim configs, emacs configs, a list of commonly used applications, and other items.
The overall goal of this repository is to reduce the time it takes to adopt a new computer and equip it with the necessary tooling to do meaningful work.
Neovim
The following snippet fixes the <C-h>
issue in neovim on macOS.
$ infocmp $TERM | sed 's/kbs=^[hH]/kbs=\\177/' > $TERM.ti
$ tic $TERM.ti
True Color and Italics in tmux and vim
TrueColor
Note: make sure that the terminal you are using supports TrueColor (hint: recent version of iTerm2 do). Also make sure that the tmux version you are using supports TrueColor (hint: versions north of 2.2 should).
- Terminal: recent versions of iTerm 2 should support TrueColor
- 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):
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
In the file /configs/.tmux.conf
there is a line to add italics support to tmux:
set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color-italic"
The $TERM
entry, tmux-256color-italic
, will be unavailable until you add the file, /configs/tmux-256color-italic
, to your terminal database. You can do this with the following command:
$ tic ~/pc_settings/configs/tmux-256color-italic
Ligature Support
To support ligatures make sure Hasklig is installed (link at the bottom). Ensure that you are using an iTerm 2 build that supports ligatures. With both of these tasks completed, ligatures should function in Neovim.
