Tricks

• Reload .vimrc without restarting
  vim:

 :so ~/.vimrc
 :so $MYVIMRC
 :so %

: The last command is for when you’re editing it.

Installation

As an example, I’ll install the Base16
Eighties theme.

mkdir ~/.vim/colors
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chriskempson/base16-vim/master/colors/base16-eighties.vim > ~/.vim/colors/base16-eighties.vim

Fire up vim, then :colorscheme base16-eighties (tab-completion works!)
and voila. Add your favorite to ~/.vimrc

Finding Themes

• Vivify is a nice GUI.
  Villustrator is another.
• Base16: themes and
  preview. You can also make
  your own.

vim-airline

Add this to ~/.vimrc to see the airline bar.

 set laststatus=2

That magically makes it
appear.
