vim-code-dark

vim-code-dark is a dark color scheme for Vim heavily inspired by the look of the Dark+ scheme of Visual Studio Code. While many of the colors are same, there are additional colors for specific usage or reserved for future use. The scheme also defines specific GUI colors (e.g. popup menu) and fully supports vim-airline.

What is and how to enable the conservative mode?

If you don't like many colors and prefer the conservative style of the standard Visual Studio, you can try the conservative mode with reduced number of colors. To enable it, put the following line to your .vimrc before setting the scheme, like so:

let g:codedark_conservative = 1
colorscheme codedark

Why does file syntax not look like in Visual Studio Code?

Because Vim uses different syntax rules for files and this is just a colorscheme.

Are terminal colors supported?
