When you are in need of a new color scheme and you want to sidestep the hassle of manually editing and loading each scheme one by one, you can do so with these steps:
- copy switch_colors.vim script to ~/.vim/plugin/switch_colors.vim
- clone vim-colorschemes
- copy schemes from vim-colorschemes/colors to ~/.vim/colors
- while in vim execute
:SetColors all
command (it will set the script to use newly downloaded schemes from the repo) - use F8 to cycle forward and Shift-F8 to cycle backwards through all schemes
- after choosing one, set its name in
.vimrc
