[Nix-dev] If anyone is using VIM and BYOBU (or Screen or Tmux) in 256 colors - would you please send me your configuration file?

[Yasuaki Kudo]

Thank you I figured it out - I simply had not specified any color scheme in .vimrc .  The problem was immediately gone after I added some colorscheme line 😊

I do use screen+vim, but there is zero config in my configuration.nix related to that.

To support my terminal (rxvt-unicode-256color) I had to `ln -s ./.nix-profile/share/terminfo .terminfo`, and install rxvt_unicode to the distant machine.

I also have `set t_Co=256` in my vim config. Maybe it helps when not autodetected by vim (wild guess here)? There may be more info in http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/256_colors_in_vim.

Just my two cents,
