vim-airline

Lean & mean statusline for vim that's light as air.

Rationale

There's already powerline, why yet another statusline?

100% vimscript; no python needed.

What about vim-powerline?

the author has been active developing powerline, which was rewritten in python and expands its capabilities to tools outside of Vim, such as bash, zsh, and tmux.
vim-powerline has been deprecated as a result, and no features will be added to it.
vim-powerline uses different font codes, so if you want to use it with a powerline themed tmux (for example), it will not work.

Features

tiny core (under 200 lines), written with extensibility in mind (specifically adhering to the open/closed principle).
integrates with a variety of plugins: vim-bufferline, fugitive, unite, ctrlp, minibufexpl, gundo, undotree, nerdtree, tagbar, syntastic and lawrencium.
looks good with regular fonts and provides configuration points so you can use unicode or powerline symbols.
optimized for speed; it loads in 1ms.
fully customizable; if you know a little statusline syntax you can tweak it to your needs.
trivial to write colorschemes; for a minimal theme you need to edit 9 lines of colors (please send pull requests).

Where did the name come from?

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!

Installation

This plugin follows the standard runtime path structure, and as such it can be installed with a variety of plugin managers:

Integrating with powerline fonts

For the nice looking powerline symbols to appear, you will need to install a patched font. Instructions can be found in the official powerline documentation. Prepatched fonts can be found in the powerline-fonts repository.

Finally, enable them in vim-airline by adding let g:airline_powerline_fonts = 1 to your vimrc.
