#### Via plugin/runtimepath manager
Add Nord Vim to your `.vimrc` for your favorite manager.
* [`vim-plug`][gh-junegunn/vim-plug] (recommended):
```vim
Plug 'arcticicestudio/nord-vim'
```
and run `:PlugInstall`.
* [`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):
```vim
Plugin 'arcticicestudio/nord-vim'
```
and run `:PluginInstall`.
To install the latest development version [`vim-plug`][gh-junegunn/vim-plug] support to specifiy the `develop` branch:
```vim
Plug 'arcticicestudio/nord-vim', { 'branch': 'develop' }
```
A explicit version can be installed via Git tags:
```vim
Plug 'arcticicestudio/nord-vim', { 'tag': 'v0.10.0' }
```
#### 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`][gh-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 Support
**This option should only be enabled if your terminal emulator supports italics!**
Can be enabled to support italic text.
Most terminals don't handle italics right so Nord disables italics for terminals by default while in GUI mode this option is enabled by default.
Set `g:nord_italic` to `1` to enforce displaying italics.
```vim
let g:nord_italic = 1
```
<p align="center"><strong>Italic formatting in Markdown</strong><br><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/develop/assets/scrot-config-italic-markdown.png"/></p>
### Underline Support
**This option should only be enabled if your terminal emulator supports underlines!**
Can be enabled to support underlined text.
Most terminals are not capable to handle underlines right so Nord disables these for terminals by default while it should work out-of-the-box™ in GUI mode.
Set `g:nord_underline` to `1` to enforce displaying underlines.
```vim
let g:nord_underline = 1
```
<p align="center"><strong>Underlined Text</strong><br><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/develop/assets/scrot-config-underline.png"/></p>
### Italic Comments
**This option only takes effect if the option for [italic text support](#italic-support) has been enabled!**
Enable to italicize 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
```
![][scrot-config-italic-comments]
### Uniform Status Lines
Enables uniform activate- and inactive status lines using `nord3` as background.
By default, Nord Vim uses a slightly brighter background for the current split buffer. This is designed to draw attention to the currently active buffer without being distracting.
If the user desires the backgrounds to be a uniform color, `g:nord_uniform_status_lines` can be set to `1`:
```vim
let g:nord_uniform_status_lines = 1
```
<p align="center"><strong>Default status lines</strong><br><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/develop/assets/scrot-config-uniform-status-lines-default.png"/><br><strong>Uniform status lines</strong><br><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/develop/assets/scrot-config-uniform-status-lines.png"/></p>
### Comment Contrast
**This option should only be enabled if your terminal supports 24bit true color (16 million colors) and requires the `termguicolors` option to be set is in `~/.vimrc` or via `:set termguicolors`!**
The comment brightness can be increased by 1 - 20 percent. It can be enabled by setting the `g:nord_comment_brightness`
variable to a number between `1` and `20`.
```vim
let g:nord_comment_brightness = 12
```
<p align="center"><strong>Default and 15% increased</strong><br><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7836623/30772939-a65c92b6-a066-11e7-92f2-2f7089fe7700.png"/><br><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7836623/30772941-b85577d0-a066-11e7-9c64-b9dab6736034.png"/></p>
<p align="center"><strong>Default and 12% increased</strong><br><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7836623/30772949-ea459978-a066-11e7-8092-9e6522f9b7bf.png"/><br><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7836623/30772950-eb8c2c84-a066-11e7-92d2-a64ac5f20521.png"/></p>
To adhere to the Nord style guide this option uses `nord3` by default.
This is a reference table if users like to use the same increased contrast values as provided by the [Nord Atom Syntax accessibility custom comment contrast theme setting][nord-atom-syntax-pr-47] which are calculated using the LESSCSS [`lighten`][lesscss-doc-fn-lighten] function.

| 1% | `#4e586d` |
| 2% | `#505b70` |

### Uniform `diff` Background
By default, Nord Vim provides colorful backgrounds when used in *diff* mode `vimdiff`/`vim -d`.
This can be changed to `nord1` as uniform *diff* background color by setting the `g:nord_uniform_diff_background` variable to `1`.
```vim
let g:nord_uniform_diff_background = 1
```
<p align="center"><strong>Colorful backgrounds (default)</strong><br><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/develop/assets/scrot-config-uniform-diff-default.png"/><br><strong>Uniform diff background</strong><br><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/develop/assets/scrot-config-uniform-diff.png"/>
</p>
### Line number background
Enables background for the line number of the current line.
```vim
let g:nord_cursor_line_number_background = 1
```
<p align="center"><strong>No background (default)</strong><br><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/develop/assets/scrot-config-cursor-line-number-background-default.png"/><br><strong>Enabled background</strong><br><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/develop/assets/scrot-config-cursor-line-number-background.png"/>
</p>

Enables a bolder vertical split line by using `nord1` as background.
```viml
let g:nord_bold_vertical_split_line = 1
```
To change the separator character used to display the vertical line please see the documentation about Vim's [`fillchars`][vdoc-fillchars] variable: `:help fillchars`
