Invalid highlight name: 'User1'

[mandrade2]

Hey there! First of all thanks for this plugin, I think doing everything in place on the open buffer is a great approach.

I tried using the BFExplain command but got this.

E5108: Error executing lua .../share/nvim/lazy/butterfish.nvim/lua/butterfish/init.lua:43: Invalid highlight name: 'User1'
stack traceback:

For anyone else having this, the solution is to use an existing highlight. You can do:hi to see the list of highlights you have. I am new to neovim and using NvChad so this might be useful for someone else.

Then you just do butterfish.active_color_group = "LazyH1" and you're good to go!

thank you for documenting the solution, I ran into the same problem!

Thanks for opening an issue and sorry for the difficulty - I suspected something was weird there but hadn't had time to figure it out. Looking now.

Ok I fixed the proximate issue but I don't quite understand the universe of highlight group names. I used User1 to set my statusline background but apparently that doesn't work for others. Investigating.

In case it's helpful:

I used (arbitrarily picked MoreMsg):

local butterfish = require('butterfish')
butterfish.active_color_group = "MoreMsg"

Ok I'm going to default this to StatusLine for now
