Bram,
this patch enables termguicolor setting automatically for terminals
supporting the "RGB" capability. This needs a relatively recent ncurses
and xterm release (I believe xterm > 331 is fine). Once the terminfo
database updates have been spread wide enough (you need a new $TERM
variable indicating true color mode, e.g. ending with -direct), this
allows us to get rid of setting the 'termguicolor' mode automatically.
So with a recent xterm and ncurses, running
TERM=xterm-direct vim --clean
will automatically enable better colors. I tested this with my current
unstable/testing Debian system and this works. Note, all those automatic
terminal capabilities inside Vim appear like black magic to me. So I am
not sure this is the best approach.
Best,
Christian
