Color My Pencils

So to change your colorscheme what should you do?

If you answered "Help Menu!" you are a fantastic! Please execute h: colorsc<tab><Cr>

try executing the following

:colorscheme <C-d>

Pick anything that autocompletes! Much like set options, it will only persist for this vim session. Writing it to your vimrc and open up file you commonly edit and behold the beauty!

These are not the only colorschemes that you can have. Plenty of plugins provide many more.

Recap

Ok. This is probably getting a bit overwhelming. A lot of this comes with practice and as you use this it becomes second nature.

I'll say it again.

Extend it

Do you think you could do anything with y and p? Could yj work? What does it do? Why? What about 5p? What do you think happens? Why?

Foundation

We have built the foundation. You know about customizing your vim experience and you know how to basically move around. The only thing left is really optimizing! And there is practically an infinite amount of optimizing!
