My girlfriend's primary objection to using Vim was that the colour palette was limited. In contrast, VSCode had a wide range of colour themes, including at least one which was pink enough for her tastes. None of the existing Vim themes were quite right, so I wrote one for her.
At the moment, this theme supports only very limited syntax highlighting (nothing filetype-specific) and will only work on a 256-colour terminal.
- Vim 8:
git clone https://github.com/SWilson4/valerie ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start
To activate, type the command :colorscheme valerie or add the line colorscheme valerie to your .vimrc file.
