FAQ

It doesn't work as expected.

1. This color scheme is mainly designed for true colors, make sure of setting: vim.o.termguicolors = true

2. To test if your terminal supports true colors, use the following script.

3. This colorscheme is made to look good with treesitter, if you don't have it, it won't look the same as the screenshoots.

How to enable cursive italic keywords?

1. Install a font that supports italics, for example JetBrains-NerdFont is an excellent font.

2. Set the correct italic font for your terminal of choice.

3. Enable italic text. E.g. vim.g.neon_italic_keyword = true
