Automatic light/dark theme switching

[m4r1vs]

All the (terminal) programs I use support automatic switching between dark and light theme based on system preferences or terminal background. I think OpenTUI apps can support this too, it would be cool if Hunk could do this.

@m4r1vs OpenTUI’s light/dark mode is inferred from terminal responses flowing through the renderer’s stdin/stdout. But for piped pager/patch modes, Hunk has to split terminal plumbing:

• stdin is occupied by piped diff content;
• interactive input comes from /dev/tty;
• rendering goes through process.stdout

so we can't (easily) use it

@elucid ah, thanks for the input! For neovim I used to use a plugin that used dbus on linux and the macos equivalent on macos to automatically change the theme until it was supported natively by neovim. That's probably not worth pursuing due to the maintanance burden I'd say.

By pipes pager/patch modes you mean when Hunk is used as the git diff viewer?
