Currently I am using a default nvim colorscheme gruvbox https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox of which there are light and dark modes. In nvim, to set it to light mode you must input the command :set background=light and vice versa for dark. However, if I am in terminal mode in NVIM and I create a nested instance of NVIM, the option background is not persisted in newly created NVIM instance.

So my question: is there a way to persist options across sessions on the fly using the set command in vim? I tried looking at :setglobal and that did not work for me.

Additionally I know that I could use mkexrc to load my options back but I would like to update this background option on the fly without needing to restart my terminal.

In Neovim, options modified inline (e.g. within the editor using :set, or programmatically via Lua like vim.opt.number = true) do not persist across sessions by default.

You need to add your modifications in your configuration file (init.lua).
