Some feature requests about gitsigns.nvim HOT 6 CLOSED

1. numhl is disabled by default and when enabled the highlights it uses are fully configurable; you just need to define the highlights.
2. We can do this and should be easy to implement since sign define has a linehl option.
3. Again I'm not sure what you mean by this. Gitsigns allows you to specify the highlights to use for specific signs so you can define them how you like.

Thanks for the feedback and hopefully I haven't misunderstood your requests.

One tip is that you can run the :highlight command which should list all the defined highlights in your nvim. From this list you can pick out highlights you would like to use for each of the signs. This saves having to define the highlights manually. For example my colourscheme (moonlight.vim) defines the highlights GitGutterAdd, GitGutterChange and GitGutterDelete therefore I have my gitsigns config as:

        signs = {
          add          = {hl = 'GitGutterAdd'   },
          change       = {hl = 'GitGutterChange'},
          delete       = {hl = 'GitGutterDelete'},
          topdelete    = {hl = 'GitGutterDelete'},
          changedelete = {hl = 'GitGutterChange'},
        }

Which gives me the same sign highlights that I would get if I used gitgutter (which I used to use).

@lewis6991 Thanks for the quick reply. GitGutter* highlights is what I wanted as my theme also defines that.

Just to be clear, In 3 point what I wanted was rather depending on another highlight group. gitsigns can provide an option to apply default highlights on the fg rather than bg. It will give the user a nice option to change the behavior rather than define highlight on the individual state.

Something like this.

require("gitsigns").setup(
    {
        highlight_text = true -- Apply highlights to the text rather than backgroud
    }
)

Maybe I am asking too much

Sorry about the delay.

Gitsigns doesn't apply highlights specifically on the fg or the bg, it just applies the highlight as fg and bg are both apart of the highlight. If you want to inverse the color of a highlight group so fg<->bg then just add reverse or inverse to the highlight group (see :help inverse.

Line highlighting is now implemented. Could we now close this issue? Let me know if you need any help with setting up highlights 🙂

Yeah sure.
