As a long time fzf/fzf.vim user the syntax highlighting old by bat for previewing has always irked me. I have used bat's base16 theme which kind-of works ok, but it was still not great when I use my moonfly and nightfly colorschemes. I decided to go down the rabbit hole and do something to somewhat remedy the situation. The fly16 bat theme is the result. Basically it is a derivation of bat's base16 but with colors shifted around to better integrate with moonfly & nightfly, especially when using fzf.vim with previewing enabled (which will use bat if it is installed). Installation instructions are at the repo link above. Note, bat fundamentally uses a Rust'ized version of Sublime's syntax highlighting engine with TextMate grammar, hence, there will not be a perfect match between bat highlighting and Vim/Neovim highlighting. However, I have done tweaks here and there that narrow the difference to within an acceptable range. Some of you may be wondering, why not just use telescope which will actually use Neovim itself for previewing. A couple reasons (for me): - I am lazy - I really like fzf - I sometimes use Vim, and fzf.vim works in both Neovim and Vim, whilst Telescope is Neovim only - I use fzf in the command line, hence I also like using it in Neovim as well Cheers

fzf-lua uses default neovim previewer with treesitter support, just like telescope
