bg.nvim 🎆

bg.nvim automatically syncs terminal background and cursor with any neovim colorscheme.

Demo

On the left, terminal background isn't synced with neovim, on the right it is and there's no inconsistency.

Install

{ "typicode/bg.nvim", lazy = false }

How it works

bg.nvim uses escape sequences to change your terminal background and cursor whenever you change your colorscheme. When neovim exits, it will restore the original colors.

Supported by modern terminals (alacritty, foot, gnome-terminal, kitty, wezterm, ...).

For reset colors support, st needs to be patched.
