Make sure to install one of the currently supported terminal themes listed below **BEFORE** installing Nord Vim.

Add Nord Vim to your `.vimrc` ```vim Plug 'arcticicestudio/nord-vim' ``` and install via `:PlugInstall`. You can specify the `develop` branch to install the latest development version. ```vim Plug 'arcticicestudio/nord-vim', { 'branch': 'develop' } ``` A specific version can be installed via git tags. ```vim Plug 'arcticicestudio/nord-vim', { 'tag': 'v0.6.0' } ``` Of course it can be installed with any of your favorite tools: [`pathogen`](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen) ```sh cd ~/.vim/bundle git clone git://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim.git ``` [`Vundle`](https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim) Add Nord Vim to your `.vimrc` ```vim Plugin 'arcticicestudio/nord-vim' ``` and install via `:PluginInstall`. #### Manual [Download](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/releases/latest) the latest version or clone the repository and copy the [`nord.vim`](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/blob/develop/colors/nord.vim) theme file to your `~/.vim/colors` directory. ### Activation Use Nord Vim as your default color theme by adding it to your `.vimrc` ```vim colorscheme nord ``` or change it on-the-fly by running `:colorscheme nord`. [`vim-plug`](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug) also provides options to enable it on-demand for specific languages ```vim " Activate Nord Vim when editing Java files Plug 'arcticicestudio/nord-vim', { 'for': 'java' } ``` or on specific events. ```vim " Activate Nord Vim when toggling the NERDTree Plug 'arcticicestudio/nord-vim', { 'on': 'NERDTreeToggle' } ``` ## Configuration All options should be set **before** the [activation](#activation) command! ### Italic comments **This option should only be enabled if your terminal emulator supports italics!** Enable to use italic font for all comments. To adhere to the Nord style guide this option is disabled by default. It can be enabled by setting the `g:nord_italic_comments` variable to `1`. ```vim let g:nord_italic_comments = 1 ``` ### Uniform StatusLine Backgrund Allow StatusLine backgrounds to be uniform. By default, Nord uses a slightly brighter background for the current split buffer. This is designed to draw attention to the currently active buffer without being distracting. However, if the user desires the backgrounds to be a uniform color, `g:nord_statusline_uniform` can be set to `1` as follows: ```vim let g:nord_statusline_uniform = 1 ``` ## Plugin Support Nord Vim provides support for many third-party language- and the UI plugins. ### UI Plugins ### Language Plugins #### JavaScript [`vim-javascript`](https://github.com/pangloss/vim-javascript) Detailed descriptions for supported plugins can be found in the [project wiki](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/wiki). ## Languages Nord Vim contains optimized styles to achieve a consistent and uniform coloring across languages. Detailed descriptions for supported languages can be found in the [project wiki](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/wiki) and in the [Plugin Support](#plugin-support) section. ![][scrot-lang-c] ![][scrot-lang-css] ![][scrot-lang-html] ![][scrot-lang-java] ![][scrot-lang-javascript] ![][scrot-lang-json] ![][scrot-lang-markdown] ![][scrot-lang-php] ![][scrot-lang-python] ![][scrot-lang-ruby] ## Development [](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/blob/v0.6.0/CHANGELOG.md) [](http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model) [](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/arcver) ### Contribution Please report issues/bugs, feature requests and suggestions for improvements to the [issue tracker](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/issues).
