Gruvbox Theme for Visual Studio
1 project | /r/PowerPlatform | 6 Nov 2023

2 projects | /r/vim | 6 Jan 2023

I am decluttering my .vimrc script and need your advice. Years ago I installed (gruvbox)[https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox] and I am not sure if it is necessary to use this plugin. Maybe I installed it because of some highlight issues.
