=============

Hyperfocus-writing in Vim.

![](https://raw.github.com/junegunn/i/master/limelight.gif)

Best served with [Goyo.vim](https://github.com/junegunn/goyo.vim).
Works on 256-color terminal or on GVim.

Usage
-----

- `Limelight [0.0 ~ 1.0]`
    - Turn Limelight on
- `Limelight!`
    - Turn Limelight off
- `Limelight!! [0.0 ~ 1.0]`
    - Toggle Limelight

### Limelight for a selected range

You can invoke `:Limelight` for a visual range. There are also `<Plug>`
mappings for normal and visual mode for the purpose.

```vim
nmap <Leader>l <Plug>(Limelight)
xmap <Leader>l <Plug>(Limelight)
```

### Options

For some color schemes, Limelight may not be able to calculate the color for
dimming down the surrounding paragraphs. In that case, you need to define
`g:limelight_conceal_ctermfg` or `g:limelight_conceal_guifg`.

```vim
" Color name (:help cterm-colors) or ANSI code
let g:limelight_conceal_ctermfg = 'gray'
let g:limelight_conceal_ctermfg = 240

" Color name (:help gui-colors) or RGB color
let g:limelight_conceal_guifg = 'DarkGray'
let g:limelight_conceal_guifg = '#777777'

" Default: 0.5
let g:limelight_default_coefficient = 0.7

" Number of preceding/following paragraphs to include (default: 0)
let g:limelight_paragraph_span = 1

" Beginning/end of paragraph
"   When there's no empty line between the paragraphs
"   and each paragraph starts with indentation
let g:limelight_bop = '^\s'
let g:limelight_eop = '\ze\n^\s'

" Highlighting priority (default: 10)
"   Set it to -1 not to overrule hlsearch
let g:limelight_priority = -1
```

Goyo.vim integration
--------------------

```vim
autocmd! User GoyoEnter Limelight
autocmd! User GoyoLeave Limelight!
```
