You Want This - but on Vim

Read on to find out to how to get it.

First

Get Operator Mono

Second

  1. Create a file named xterm-256color-italic.terminfo in your home directory (or wherever)
  1. Run the install (below) with tic
# A xterm-256color based TERMINFO that adds the escape sequences for italic.
xterm-256color-italic|xterm with 256 colors and italic,
  sitm=\E[3m, ritm=\E[23m,
  use=xterm-256color,
#
# Install:

#

Third

Change your iTerm terminal type to match the variable created above

Fourth

Open up your init.vim/.vimrc and add the following

(Note that you don't need to use OceanicNext, but I recommend that color scheme.)

    colorscheme OceanicNext
    hi htmlArg gui=italic
    hi Comment gui=italic
    hi Type    gui=italic
    hi htmlArg cterm=italic
    hi Comment cterm=italic
    hi Type    cterm=italic
