opacity in kitty/neovim

It’s not enough to enable opacity in kitty, the background has to be set to none in vim as well.

enable opacity in kitty

I could have put the following into kitty.conf, but I put it in the current-theme file which will probably be wiped out the next time I swap themes:

dynamic_background_opacity yes
background_opacity 0.5

I was watching 0 to LSP by ThePrimeagen and he mentioned the following to enable transparent backgrounds:

vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "Normal", { bg = "none" })
vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "NormalFloat", { bg = "none" })

This is Lua code and needs to go somewhere like ~/.config/nvim/init.lua.
