vim-monokai-tastier

Fork of vim-monokai-tasty using Monokai Pro colours and with some other changes. Usage remains the same as below.

Monokai forever! 🎉 Inspired by Sublime Text's interpretation of monokai, this colour is both gui- and cterm-supported. It works for all languages, and is particularly good for JavaScript and TypeScript development ❤️

Unlike other monokai implementations, vim-monokai-tasty targets named syntax groups from a variety of plugins (listed below). ¹This colorscheme is 74% tastier than competitors 🌮

¹according to me

🔌 Installation

If you use pathogen

git clone https://github.com/patstockwell/vim-monokai-tasty.git ~/.vim/bundle/vim-monokai-tasty

If you use vim-plug, add the following and run :PlugInstall

Plug 'patstockwell/vim-monokai-tasty'

If you use Vundle, add the following and run :PluginInstall

Plugin 'patstockwell/vim-monokai-tasty'

If you use minpac, add the following and run :call minpac#update()

call minpac#add('vim-jp/syntax-vim-ex')

🐺 Use

Add the following to your .vimrc (after the Plug declaration):

colorscheme vim-monokai-tasty

If you use a terminal that supports italic text, add (before the colorscheme declaration):

let g:vim_monokai_tasty_italic = 1
colorscheme vim-monokai-tasty

If you want the slightly darker blue variant of monokai called "Machine"

let g:vim_monokai_tasty_machine_tint = 1
colorscheme vim-monokai-tasty

To use the included lightline.vim theme:

let g:lightline = { 'colorscheme': 'monokai_tasty' }

To use the included vim-airline theme:

let g:airline_theme='monokai_tasty'

📚 Additional plugins with targeted syntax groups

For JavaScript, TypeScript, and React development, monokai-tasty supports definitions from all these plugins. Add some of these for an even better look and feel:

Plug 'HerringtonDarkholme/yats.vim'
Plug 'pangloss/vim-javascript'
Plug 'MaxMEllon/vim-jsx-pretty'
Plug 'styled-components/vim-styled-components'
Plug 'elzr/vim-json'
Plug 'jparise/vim-graphql'

🔮 Extras

• If you use iterm2 (you should), there is an included monokai.itermcolors file.
• If you use GnuCoreutils there is a dircolors file (compliments the iterm colours)
