|
|
|
there's already [powerline][b], why yet another statusline?
|
2013-06-30 21:29:35 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* it's standard vimscript, no python needed
|
|
|
|
|
* it's small. i want the entire plugin to be less than 200 lines as a rule
|
2013-07-01 21:33:10 -04:00
|
|
|
* it gets you 90% of the way there; in addition to all the standard goodies, it integrates with [vim-bufferline][f], [fugitive][d], and [syntastic][e]
|
|
|
|
|
* it looks good with regular fonts, and provides configuration points so you can use unicode or powerline symbols
|
2013-07-03 02:51:10 +00:00
|
|
|
* it's fast to load, taking roughly 1ms. by comparison, powerline needs 60ms on the same machine.

|
|
|
what about [old powerline][a]?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* the old version still works well, but since its deprecated new features won't get added

i wrote the initial version on an airplane, and since it's light as air it turned out to be a good name. thanks for flying vim!

|
|

2013-07-01 19:49:40 -04:00
|
|
|
1. the powerline font symbols are not showing up
|
|
|
|
|
* the older deprecated [vim-powerline][a] uses different codes compared to the newer [powerline][b].
|
|
|
|
|
* you can grab prepatched fonts at [powerline-fonts][c], or you can manually set the relevant `g:` variables
|
2013-07-01 21:33:10 -04:00
|
|
|
2. there is a pause when leaving insert mode
|
2013-07-01 20:35:16 -04:00
|
|
|
* you need to set `ttimeoutlen` to a low number; 50 is recommended
|
2013-07-03 15:27:05 +00:00
|
|
|
3. you get the error `Unknown function: fugitive#head`
|
2013-07-02 11:44:59 -04:00
|
|
|
* you are probably using version 1.2, which is very old...download v2 from the [project page][d].
