Configuration

Initialize the plugin.

Lua init file:

require('silicon').setup({
  font = 'FantasqueSansMono Nerd Font=16',

})

Vimscript init file:

lua << EOF

The setup function accepts the following table:

{
  -- The following keys are all optional
  -- with default values
  -- The following key is required if you want to save image to file instead of clipboard
  output = {
    file = "", -- full path of the file to save to.
    clipboard = true,
    path = ".", -- where to save images e.g. /home/user/Pictures
    format = "silicon_[year][month][day]_[hour][minute][second].png",
  },
  font = 'Hack=20',
  theme = 'Dracula',
  background = '#eff',
  shadow = {
    blur_radius = 0.0,
    offset_x = 0,
    offset_y = 0,
    color = '#555'
  },
  pad_horiz = 100,
  pad_vert = 80,
  line_number = false,
  line_pad = 2,
  line_offset = 1,
  tab_width = 4,
  round_corner = true,
  window_controls = true,
  window_title = nil, -- a function returning window title as a string
  watermark = {
    text = nil, -- add this to enable watermark on the bottom-right.
    color = '#222',
    style = 'bold', -- possible values: 'bold' | 'italic' | 'bolditalic' | anything else defaults to 'regular'.
  },
}
