Set terminal colors in Vim with termguicolors

[rbong]

When the termguicolors setting is enabled, default ANSI colors are used by default in Vim.

Colors can be set in Vim similarly to neovim as of this merged PR:

vim/vim#2747

See this issue for more context:

vim/vim#2353

Turns out that this is a duplicate of #246 and #261. I was searching for g:terminal_ansi_colors when checking for duplicates and I didn't get any results. However, since this is the only signed PR out of those right now, I'll leave it up.

So, what happened? Why the code is gone? It's very ugly when using vim build-in terminal at now.

if exists('*term_setansicolors')
  let g:terminal_ansi_colors = repeat([0], 16)

  let g:terminal_ansi_colors[0] = s:bg0[0]
  let g:terminal_ansi_colors[8] = s:gray[0]

  let g:terminal_ansi_colors[1] = s:gb.neutral_red[0]
  let g:terminal_ansi_colors[9] = s:red[0]

  let g:terminal_ansi_colors[2] = s:gb.neutral_green[0]
  let g:terminal_ansi_colors[10] = s:green[0]

  let g:terminal_ansi_colors[3] = s:gb.neutral_yellow[0]
  let g:terminal_ansi_colors[11] = s:yellow[0]

  let g:terminal_ansi_colors[4] = s:gb.neutral_blue[0]
  let g:terminal_ansi_colors[12] = s:blue[0]

  let g:terminal_ansi_colors[5] = s:gb.neutral_purple[0]
  let g:terminal_ansi_colors[13] = s:purple[0]

  let g:terminal_ansi_colors[6] = s:gb.neutral_aqua[0]
  let g:terminal_ansi_colors[14] = s:aqua[0]

  let g:terminal_ansi_colors[7] = s:fg4[0]
  let g:terminal_ansi_colors[15] = s:fg1[0]
endif

Oh, my bad. I didn't notice it not merged in to this repo.
So, what we're waiting for? Why don't add terminal colors for vim? There already are terminal colors for neovim!

@rbong gruvbox seems to become actively again, but I'll try gruvbox-community/gruvbox. Thank you.

My bad, I did not see that new commits were recently added. Good to see commits on the original codebase.

I'd rather say spare time activity maintainment 😉
