Question 1

How to install cobalt2.nvim with packer.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Add it as a plugin in your packer configuration with 'use' and include 'tjdevries/colorbuddy.nvim' as a requirement, then call require('colorbuddy').colorscheme('cobalt2') in your Neovim config. The README provides a snippet for reference.

Question 2

Does cobalt2.nvim support Telescope and LSP plugins?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it explicitly lists support for telescope.nvim and LSP-related plugins like nvim-lspconfig and nvim-cmp, ensuring syntax highlighting works seamlessly with these tools.

Question 3

Can I change the background color in cobalt2.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Yes, since it uses colorbuddy, you can modify colors dynamically via Lua by accessing colorbuddy's API, but you'll need to write custom code and refer to colorbuddy's documentation for specifics.

Question 4

cobalt2.nvim vs catppuccin.nvim: which is better for eye strain?

Accepted Answer

Both aim to reduce eye strain, but cobalt2.nvim focuses on a specific blue-based palette from the original cobalt2, while catppuccin.nvim offers multiple color variants. Choose based on personal preference; cobalt2.nvim is more specialized, but catppuccin might have broader customization options.

Question 5

How to add support for a plugin not listed in cobalt2.nvim?

Accepted Answer

You'll need to extend the theme manually by defining highlight groups using colorbuddy's Lua functions, which requires familiarity with Neovim's highlighting system and the plugin's syntax elements.

Question 6

Is cobalt2.nvim compatible with Vim?

Accepted Answer

No, it's built specifically for Neovim using Lua and colorbuddy, so it won't work with standard Vim or versions without Lua support, limiting cross-editor usage.
