  1. MacVim Protip: For those who find #MacVim's default font size and colour schemes utterly unfuckingreadable, you can change these in your ~/.gvimrc file.

    For example:

    set guifont=Monaco:h18
    colorscheme blue

    Which produces a much larger, and visually-distinct, buffer.

    There are other fonts, sizes, and colour schemes.

    You can list schemes installed from your shell via:

    $ ls /usr/share/vim/vim81/colors | grep .vim

    See: linuxhandbook.com/vim-color-sc

    You might be able to list fonts from within vim via:

    :set guifont=*

    ... which is supposed to display a fonts chooser but fails to do so for me.
