vim-sublime-monokai is a refined Monokai color scheme for vim tries to look like Sublime's default color scheme. It's derived from the work put into:

• sickill/vim-monokai
• crusoexia/vim-monokai

I noticed that there were several places where the highlighting wasn't entirely faithful to that of Sublime, which is my second choice for editing in my day-to-day. The purpose of this project is to provide an experience that matches Sublime as closely as possible.

Note that, in my case, I use several plugins to enhance my own highlighting and ctags experience. Where possible, the dependent plugins have been noted for languages whose highlighting would otherwise be impossible to make equivalent to Sublime. Conflicts with other plugins that I've used have been noted. You will NOT get full fidelity with Sublime's highlighting if you use conflicting plugins with this color scheme enabled.

Use your favorite plugin manager! Alternatively, download the colors/sublimemonokai.vim file and move it into your colors folder.

After installing this plugin via your favorite plugin manager, add the following to your vimrc:

syntax on
colorscheme sublimemonokai

vim-sublime-monokai only support 256 colours in terminal. If you are using a terminal which support truecolor like iterm2, enable the GUI color by adding the following to your vimrc:

set termguicolors

Otherwise, use below setting to activate the 256 color in terminal

set t_Co=256

By default italicized text is enabled in GUI (gVim), but in terminal it's not. If you are using a font that support italics in terminal, add the following to your .vimrc:

let g:sublimemonokai_term_italic = 1

In order to provide an experience with parity to Sublime, this color scheme integrates with the highlighting groups that several language-specific plugins specify. You will need to install these plugins in order to have Sublime-like highlighting.

1. vim-javascript for the core language
2. vim-javascript-lib, for popular Javascript libraries, like underscore and Backbone.
