# vim-airline
|
|
|
|
Lean & mean statusline for vim that's light as air.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Features
|
|
|
|
* tiny core (under 200 lines), written with extensibility in mind (specifically adhering to the [open/closed principle][8]).
|
|
* integrates with a variety of plugins, including: [vim-bufferline][6], [fugitive][4], [unite][9], [ctrlp][10], [minibufexpl][15], [gundo][16], [undotree][17], [nerdtree][18], [tagbar][19], [syntastic][5] and [lawrencium][21].
|
|
* looks good with regular fonts and provides configuration points so you can use unicode or powerline symbols.
|
|
* optimized for speed; it loads in under a millisecond.
|
|
* fully customizable; if you know a little `statusline` syntax you can tweak it to your needs.
|
|
* extensive suite of themes for popular colorschemes including [solarized][23] (dark and light), [tomorrow][24] (all variants), [molokai][25], [jellybeans][26] and others.
|
|
* supports 7.2 as the minimum Vim version
|
|
|
|
# Rationale
|
|
|
|
There's already [powerline][2], why yet another statusline?
|
|
|
|
* 100% vimscript; no python needed.
|
|
|
|
What about [vim-powerline][1]?
|
|
|
|
* 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.

# 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:
|
|
|
|
* [Pathogen][11]
|
|
* `git clone https://github.com/bling/vim-airline ~/.vim/bundle/vim-airline`
|
|
* [NeoBundle][12]
|
|
* `NeoBundle 'bling/vim-airline'`
|
|
* [Vundle][13]
|
|
* `Bundle 'bling/vim-airline'`
|
|
* [VAM][22]
|
|
* `call vam#ActivateAddons([ 'vim-airline' ])`
|
|
* manual
|
|
* copy all of the files into your `~/.vim` directory
|
|
|
|
# Configuration
|
|
|
|
`:help airline`
|
|
|
|
# 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][20]. Prepatched fonts can be found in the [powerline-fonts][3] repository.
|
|
|
|
Finally, enable them in vim-airline by adding `let g:airline_powerline_fonts = 1` to your vimrc.

# Bugs
|
|
|
|
Tracking down bugs can take a very long time due to different configurations, versions, and operating systems. To ensure a timely response, please help me out by doing the following:
|
|
|
|
* reproduce it with this [minivimrc][7] repository to rule out any configuration conflicts.
|
|
* a link to your vimrc or a gist which shows how you configured the plugin(s).
|
|
* and so I can reproduce; your `:version` of vim, and the commit of vim-airline you're using.

# Contributions
|
|
|
|
Contributions and pull requests are welcome. Please take note of the following guidelines:
|
|
|
|
* adhere to the existing style as much as possible; notably, 2 space indents and long-form keywords.
|
|
* keep the history clean! squash your branches before you submit a pull request. `pull --rebase` is your friend.
|
|
* any changes to the core should be tested against Vim 7.2.
|
|
* if you submit a theme, please create a screenshot so it can be added to the [Wiki][14].
