Synchronizing with vim/neovim

If you are using base16 colorschemes from base16-vim, you can use the -V argument to generate ~/.vimrc_background file while changing alacritty colorscheme.

You will need to source the file in your vimrc to load the appropriate colorscheme in vim. Add the following in your vimrc file:

if filereadable(expand("~/.vimrc_background"))
  let base16colorspace=256          " Remove this line if not necessary
  source ~/.vimrc_background
endif

After changing alacritty colorscheme, you need to simply reload your vimrc configuration.

Reloading neovim

If you are using neovim, you can use neovim-remote to reload the nvim sessions externally.

Install neovim-remote:

pip install --user neovim-remote

Reload a neovim session using:

nvr -cc "source ~/.config/nvim/init.vim"

Example bash/zsh configuration (base16-vim + neovim + neovim-remote)

You can add this example configuration in your .zshrc or .bashrc to switch between dark and light theme. This snippet creates two aliases namely: day, night

function reload_nvim {
    for SERVER in $(nvr --serverlist); do
        nvr -cc "source ~/.config/nvim/init.vim" --servername $SERVER &
    done
}

COLOR_DIR="~/.aaron-williamson-alacritty-theme/colors"
LIGHT_COLOR='base16-gruvbox-light-soft.yml'
DARK_COLOR='base16-gruvbox-dark-soft.yml'

alias day="alacritty-colorscheme -C $COLOR_DIR -a $LIGHT_COLOR -V && reload_nvim"
alias night="alacritty-colorscheme -C $COLOR_DIR -a $DARK_COLOR -V && reload_nvim"
