colorscheme

alacritty-shell setups up addional colors in the terminal. Index 18 is used for the statusline background, and Index 16 is used for orange in some color schemes for walh. This can get setup using alacritty, 256 colorscheme can be copy pasted.

    foreground: "0xd5c4a1"

  # Colors the cursor will use if `custom_cursor_colors` is true
  cursor:
    text: "0x282828"
    cursor: "0xd5c4a1"

  # Normal colors
  normal:
    black: "0x282828"
    red: "0xfb4934"
    green: "0xb8bb26"
    yellow: "0xfabd2f"
    blue: "0x83a598"

Lazy loading

• Note this setup is configured for lazy loading of plugins. Meaning plugins won't be used unless the filetype matches with settings in the after/ftplugin dir. It has its cons opening a markdown file and then :e rustfile won't enable lsp for rust file. To get around this put all null-ls config in after/ftplugin/ config into lua/_null-ls.lua and require that ininit.lua

• Have a look at lua/_null-ls.lua for some examples (when using null-ls you will need to download the required applications for it to work)
