## Usage
The default mapping to toggle the plugin is `<Leader>ig`
### Terminal Vim
At the moment Terminal Vim only has basic support. This means is that colors won't be automatically calculated based on your colorscheme. Instead some preset colors are used depending on whether `set background=` is set to `dark` or `light`.
When `set background=dark` is used, the following highlight colors will be defined:
hi IndentGuidesEven ctermbg=darkgrey
hi IndentGuidesOdd ctermbg=black
When `set background=light` is used, the following highlight colors will be defined:
hi IndentGuidesEven ctermbg=lightgrey
hi IndentGuidesOdd ctermbg=white
If for some reason it's defining light highlight colors instead of dark ones or vice versa, the first thing you should check is that `set background=` is being set correctly for your colorscheme. Sometimes it's best to manually set the `background` value in your .vimrc, for example:
colorscheme desert256
set background=dark
Alternatively you can manually setup the highlight colors yourself, see `:help indent_guides_auto_colors` for an example.
