hyper-font-ligatures

hyper-font-ligatures
====================

Enables [font ligatures][font ligatures] for [hyper 2.1+][hyper]
via the [xterm-addon-ligatures][xterm-addon-ligatures] and
[font-ligatures][font-ligatures] packages.


Use fonts supporting ligatures such as [Fira Code][Fira Code],
[Hasklig][Hasklig], and [Iosevka][Iosevka] to benefit from this plugin.

Installation

Disclaimer: Please note that this plugin requires hyper version 2.1.0
or later.

Also note: For those on hyper 3+, you must
disable WebGL rendering for this
plugin to function.

$3

``bash
$ hyper i hyper-font-ligatures
`

$3

Open the [.hyper.js] file using your favorite text editor and edit the
plugins array to include hyper-font-ligatures:
`js
plugins: ['hyper-font-ligatures'],
`

$3

if you are running hyper 3+, this plugin currently does not work with hyper 3
unless you disable WebGL rendering.

Note that WebGL rendering was a major performance improvement introduced
in hyper 3, by disabling it you should expect the same level of performance
seen with hyper 2.

To disable WebGL rendering, set webGLRenderer to false in the config
section of your
[.hyper.js] configuration file, i.e.:

`javascript
module.exports = {
config: {
webGLRenderer: false,
},
plugins: [
"hyper-font-ligatures"
],
};
`

See issue #8 and
zeit/hyper#3607 more details.

In all cases, a 'Full Reload' (View -> Full Reload`) is required.
