An arctic, north-bluish clean and elegant Vim color theme.
Designed for a fluent and clear workflow based on the Nord color palette.
Build for Vim's terminal- and GUI mode with _true colors_ with support for many third-party syntax and UI plugins including bundled themes for [lightline.vim][1] and [vim-airline][4].
## Getting Started
Visit the [official website][23] to learn all about the [syntax highlighting][27] features, details and elements of [UI and editor elements][25], the [various theme configurations][24] and the [support for many plugins][26].
Learn about the [installation and activation][20], how to [configure][18] and [customize][19] the theme from the [official documentations][22].
### Quick Start
Thanks to existing plugin/_runtimepath_ managers for Vim, Nord Vim can be installed for all platforms and the various variants/forks of Vim in a uniform way within a few lines of codes. The recommended manager is [vim-plug][2], but any other manager like [pathogen][3] or [Vundle][3] can also be used.
To automatically download and activate Nord Vim, follow the install instructions for [vim-plug][2] and
1. add `Plug 'nordtheme/vim'` to your [`vimrc`][28] within _vim-plug_'s plugin loading function
2. run the `:PlugInstall` command in Vim
3. activate the theme by adding `colorscheme nord` to the [vimrc][28] or change it on-the-fly by running `:colorscheme nord`
See the Nord Vim's documentation for [more installation options][20] and how to [set it up manually][21].
## Features
A unified UI and editor syntax element design provides a clutter-free and fluidly merging appearance.
Small details with unobtrusive styles for popular and common code editor features like search result marker and brace matching — designed to get out of your way with a visually attractive appearance.
Support for a wide range of programming languages — from bundled plugins up to many popular syntax and UI third-party plugins.
