# vim-airline
|
|
|
|
lean & mean statusline for vim that's light as air
|
|
|
|
# rationale
|
|
|
|
there's already [powerline][b], why yet another statusline?
|
|
|
|
* it's 100% vimscript; no python needed.
|
|
* it's small. i want the core plugin to be *less than 200 lines* as a rule (specifically adhering to the [open/closed principle][h]).
|
|
* it gets you 90% of the way there; in addition to all the standard goodies, it integrates with [vim-bufferline][f], [fugitive][d], [unite][i], [ctrlp][j] and [syntastic][e].
|
|
* it looks good with regular fonts, and provides configuration points so you can use unicode or powerline symbols.
|
|
* it's fast to load, taking roughly 1ms. by comparison, powerline needs 60ms on the same machine.
|
|
* it's fully customizable; if you know a little `statusline` syntax you can tweak it to your needs.
|
|
* it is trivial to write colorschemes; for a minimal theme you need to edit 9 lines of colors.
|
|
|
|
what about [old powerline][a]?
|
|
|
|
* the old version still works well, but since it's deprecated new features won't get added
|

# why's it called airline?
|
|
|
|
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!

# faq/troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
* 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
|
|
* there is a pause when leaving insert mode
|
|
* you need to set `ttimeoutlen` to a low number; 50 is recommended
|
|
* you get the error `Unknown function: fugitive#head`
|
|
* you are probably using version 1.2, which is very old...download v2 from the [project page][d].
|
|
* airline doesn't appear until i create a new split
|
|
* add `set laststatus=2` to your vimrc
|
|
* bufferline is printing to the statusline as well as the command bar
|
|
* you can disable automatic echoing by adding `let g:bufferline_echo = 0` to your vimrc
