Closes #3428 References #4999 The Linux "virtual consoles" available on Alt-F1...Alt-F7 (i.e. tty1-tty7) support only 8 colors (actually, it's 16 colors when counted together with "bold/bright" attribute) and 8 background colors (those in some cases can be upped to 16 too, by using "blink" attribute - but this might be more risky, in case some legacy consoles really show it as blinking? I'm not sure about that.) This limit is buried deep in kernel sources for default tty drivers. Trying to use the Neovim's default 256 colors in this case gives totally bad colors, breaking all color schemes and sometimes rendering parts of the text invisible. A simple change enables code paths for handling 8/16 colors, which are still present in Neovim codebase.

Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:
- Simplify maintenance and encourage contributions
- Split the work between multiple developers
- Enable the implementation of new/modern user interfaces without any modifications to the core source
- Improve extensibility with a new plugin architecture
For lots more details, see the wiki!
What's been done so far
- Automatic history merge between multiple editor instances
- XDG-compliant configuration
- Embedded terminal emulator
- Asynchronous job control
- MessagePack remote API
- Pushdown automaton for state transitions
See the progress page for a comprehensive list.
What's being worked on now
- Port all IO to libuv
- Convert legacy tests to Lua tests
- VimL => Lua translator
How do I get it?
There is a formula for OSX/homebrew, a PKGBUILD for Arch Linux, RPM, deb, and more. See the wiki!
