*togglebackground.txt* For Vim version 7.3. or newer Last change: 2011 Apr 7 TOGGLE BACKGROUND PLUGIN by Ethan Schoonover ~ Toggle Background *toggle-background* *togglebackground* *togglebg* *togbg* Toggle Background is a simple plugin to switch between light and dark background modes and reset the colorscheme. This is most useful for colorschemes that support both light and dark modes and in terminals or gui vim windows where the background will be properly set. 0. Usage |togbg-usage| 1. Default Mapping |togbg-default| 2. Changing the Mapping |togbg-newmap| 3. Issues |togbg-issues| ============================================================================== 0. Usage *togbg-usage* Press your map key(s) to activate Toggle Background, or select "Toggle Background" from the 'Window' menu while in gui mode. ============================================================================== 1. Default Mapping *togbg-default* Toggle Background starts with a default mapping to function key . If you are already using this in a mapping, Toggle Background will not map itself to a default and you will have to map it manually in your .vimrc file, or remove/change your existing mapping to another value. ============================================================================== 2. Changing the Mapping *togbg-newmap* To set your own mapping in your .vimrc file, simply add the following three lines to support normal, insert and visual mode usage: nmap ToggleBackground imap ToggleBackground vmap ToggleBackground Note that it is important to NOT use the noremap map variants. The plugin uses noremap internally. ============================================================================== 3. Issues *togbg-issues* When using the plugin during insert mode, there should be no interruption in workflow. However, if you activate the plugin during REPLACE mode, you will switch to insert mode. vim:tw=78:noet:ts=8:ft=help:norl:
