Kalolo is a dark 256-colors scheme for the kakoune editor.

Features

• Selections and status line are in shades of yellows in normal mode and of blues in insert mode.

• Selections let the syntax coloring appear ("alpha blending").

• Primary selection, secondary selection, primary cursor, secondary cursor and end-of-line cursors all have different colors.

• It tries to stay semantically consistent:

  • Green is only used for comments (because comments are important),
  • with documentation in bold (because documentation is very important),
  • and strings (because messages are often close to comments).
  • Variable-related objects are in blues.
  • Operator and delimiters are (lightly) highlighted, to ease the visual parsing.
  • Attributes are in yellow.
  • Builtins keyword are slightly more highlighted than normal text, to allow for an immediate visual typo checking.
  • Keywords are in red, with flow-related ones (if, for, etc.) in bold.

"kalolo" (New-Caledonia familiar adj.) means "beautiful, cute".

Dependencies
