vim-colorstepper

Cycle easily through vim color schemes.

Install

Add colorstepper to your vim directory:

$ mkdir -p ~/.vim/bundle \
    && cd ~/.vim/bundle \
    && git clone https://github.com/qualiabyte/vim-colorstepper colorstepper

Non-pathogen users should add this to your .vimrc:

" ColorStepper
source ~/.vim/bundle/colorstepper/colorstepper.vim

Setup

You may optionally modify your .vimrc to customize colorstepper's default keymaps:

" ColorStepper Keys
nmap <F6> <Plug>ColorstepPrev
nmap <F7> <Plug>ColorstepNext
nmap <S-F7> <Plug>ColorstepReload

Usage

Ok! After reloading vim, you should now be able to:

• Cycle to next color with F7
• Cycle to prev color with F6
• Reload available colors with Shift+F7

Get more colors!

Simply add vim colorschemes to ~/.vim/colors/<theme>.vim.

Or with pathogen, add to ~/.vim/bundle/<bundle-name>/colors/<theme>.vim.
