lean & mean statusline for vim that's light as air
rationale
there's already powerline, why yet another statusline?
- it's standard vimscript, no python needed
- it's small. i want the entire plugin to be less than 200 lines as a rule
- it gets you 90% of the way there; in addition to all the standard goodies, it integrates with vim-bufferline, fugitive, and syntastic
- 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.
what about old powerline?
- the old version still works well, but since its 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 uses different codes compared to the newer powerline.
- you can grab prepatched fonts at powerline-fonts, 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.
