Question 1

How to install nordic.nvim with lazy.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Install it via lazy.nvim by adding 'andersevenrud/nordic.nvim' to your spec and using require('nordic').colorscheme() in the config function, similar to the packer.nvim example but adapted for lazy.nvim's syntax. Check lazy.nvim's documentation for exact setup details, as nordic.nvim doesn't provide specific examples for all managers.

Question 2

nordic.nvim vs tokyonight.nvim: which is better?

Accepted Answer

nordic.nvim is better if you prefer the Nord theme's blueish palette and want extensive Neovim plugin support, while tokyonight.nvim offers a Tokyo Night theme with features like built-in style variants. Choose based on aesthetic preference and specific plugin compatibility needs; nordic.nvim excels in Nord faithfulness but may lack some toggling features.

Question 3

How to customize nordic.nvim for specific plugins?

Accepted Answer

Use the custom_colors callback function in the configuration to define custom color groups, referencing the example.lua file in the repository. For pre-made configs, check the lua/nordic/configs directory and modify them as needed, but note that manual Lua table adjustments might be required for unsupported plugins.

Question 4

Does nordic.nvim support dark and light modes?

Accepted Answer

No, nordic.nvim does not natively support dark/light mode switching; it's designed around the Nord palette which is primarily dark. Users need to manually configure alternatives or use external tools for theme toggling, as the README doesn't mention this feature.

Question 5

What plugins are supported by nordic.nvim?

Accepted Answer

It supports Treesitter, Neovim LSP, Telescope, and others listed in the alternate_backgrounds option like terminal and nvim-tree. Pre-made configurations are available in the GitHub repo, but support may vary, and manual setup is needed for some plugins as noted in the documentation.

Question 6

How to enable italics in nordic.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Set the italic option to true in the configuration, either via require('nordic').colorscheme({ italic = true }) in Lua or using vim.g.nord_italic in globals. This enables italics for keywords like constructors and functions, but italic_comments can be controlled separately for fine-tuning.
