When `g:skip_empty_sections` is set, `:AirlineRefresh` can be called
very often and cause slow down, because it forcefully re-creates the
highlighting groups. This is mostly not needed for the redraw to happen,
therefore, add the `<bang>` attribute to the command, making it skip to
re-create the highlighting groups and have all extensions that rely on a
forced update use the `!` form.
Should be much fast then.
fixes#1908
At the moment you can never be sure whether you look at the results
that ale just produced after your last changes or you are looking at
outdated information.
Instead of showing the last results while ale executes checks on the
current buffer it can now show a specific indicator.
This commit introduces the new config variable
`g:airline#extensions#ale#checking_symbol` which defaults to "...". In
case you don't want to see this, you may set it to an empty string.
Previously the ale refresh was triggered after user interactions only.
When linting takes some time and the user is not actively working the
ale information was not updated while the things ale directly controls
were updated. This change makes showing linting results a loot smoother.
The function shows the line number of the first error/warning that appears in the current buffer. If there are 20 warnings and the first warning exists on line 33, then vim-airline would show "W:20(L33)".
One can change how the line number is represented using: `g:airline#extensions#ale#open_lnum_symbol` and `airline#extensions#ale#close_lnum_symbol`
