Fix vim color issues in tmux

1. In .tmux.conf add:

    set -g default-terminal 'screen-256color'
    set -ga terminal-overrides ',xterm-256color:Tc'
   

   Where ‘xterm-256color’ should be whatever your $PATH is outside of tmux.

2. In .vimrc add:

    set termguicolors
    let &t_8f = "\<Esc>[38;2;%lu;%lu;%lum"
    let &t_8b = "\<Esc>[48;2;%lu;%lu;%lum"
   

   This will tell vim the escape codes. It’s explained in :h xterm-true-color.

Fix issue with italics inside tmux

    sitm=\E[3m, ritm=\E[23m,
    use=screen-256color,
   tic tmux-256color.terminfo
   

2. set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color" in .tmux.conf src
