Remove comment highlight in iterm

[ahmedelgabri]

I have read the wiki and loaded gruvbox_256palette.sh file in my .zshrc and added g:gruvbox_italic=0 to .vimrc and still as you see in the screenshot, comments are still highlighted. Any idea why?

Whats you output of hi Comment? You should set let g:gruvbox_italic=0 before setting colorscheme gruvbox

Setting let g:gruvbox_italic=0 before colorscheme gruvbox fixed it, thanks!

@morhetz I have a quick question though.

I understand that terminal vim color capabilities are not the same as the GUI and sometime it needs the use of shell files to do this. But there was a discussion here in base-16-vim about this which also uses the shell method to fix colorization. But it looks like iTerm2 fixed an issue related to this and now we don't need to source the shell script if you are using iTerm2. Any plans to do the same, make it work without the need of the shell script?

TLDR: Nope.
If I got all things right, base-16 guys are using terminal colorscheme with 16-colorspace, which could be done with the gruvbox the same way.
Set up suitable iterm theme and put that to your .vimrc let g:gruvbox_termcolors=16. I'm not really fond of that mostly because this solution forces you to have the same terminal theme and vim theme. It also makes unavailable to switch from gruvbox-dark to gruvbox-light at runtime.
I'm not really aware of base-16 shellscripts, but I suppose they are somehow based on mine.
