Introduction

nvim-highlite is a colorscheme template repository for Neovim 0.5+.

This template's defaults focus on:

1. Compatability with semantic highlighting.
   • I was using colorschemes that often did not provide enough highlight groups to provide distinction between tokens.
2. Visibility in any range of blue-light.
   • I use redshift often, and many colorschemes did not allow for me to see when I had lower color temperatures.

This template's design focuses on:

1. Ease of use and rapid development.
   • New features may simply be integrated with current configurations, rather than rewritten over them.
   • Merging with the upstream repository is simplified by GitHub, allowing you to select what new defaults to add.
   • It provides a large supply of defaults for plugins and programming languages.
     • Define a smaller set of "categorical" highlights (see Neovim's group-name help page) and many more will link automatically.
2. Inversion of Control
   • Changes made to the highlighting algorithm won't affect how you write your colorscheme.
   • New highlight group attributes which are unaccounted for in older versions will simply be ignored without errors due to Lua's tables.

Prerequisites

1. Neovim 0.5+
