vim

For the main scheme, you can just copy the colors/spacechalk.vim into your ~/.vim/colors directory.

For the airline theme, you can copy the autoload/airline/themes/spacechalk.vim into your ~/.vim/autoload/airline/themes directory.

Setup

vim

To enable this color scheme for vim, set it in your .vimrc:

" If installed with vim-plug, you will want this after your vim-plug block
colorscheme spacechalk

This theme assumes gui colors. Add this to your .vimrc to enable true colors:

if has('termguicolors')
  set termguicolors
endif

" use custome space chalk theme :)
let g:airline_theme='spacechalk'

Contributing and Troubleshooting

Contributions to get the syntax highlighting working everywhere are absolutely welcome. If you're new to vim colorschemes, here's some tips!

Get the current highlighting for a given variable/filetype

If you're already in a file in vim, and the highlighting doesn't look quite right, but you're not sure what the variable is called, you can run the following command:

:highlight

That will give the exact highlight commands for all the variables, but unfortunately in vim, it is not searchable, so you'll have to page through it ;(

Get the current syntax for a given variable/filetype

Open a python file in vim and then type the following:

:syntax list

That will give you all the syntax variable names and their colors as three xs, like:

pythonInclude  xxx from import

It may also be helpful to check out more about syntax/colors with:

:help syntax
