Dear Life et al.,
Thank you very much for your thorough explanations! Now we are very close to
the solution. My end goal is the opposite. I would like to _disable_ iTerm2
colours, when I use Vim. I would like to use _pure_ Vim colour scheme, without
the interference or overlap with the iTerm2 colour profile. I think I will need
to replace the “set termguicolors” with the “unset termguicolors” in your
snippet to reach my goal. Thank you and have a good day ahead!
