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

  1. 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
  1. there is a pause when leaving insert mode
  • you need to set ttimeoutlen to a low number; 50 is recommended
  1. the colors don't change properly
  • the plugin was developed with lazyredraw on, and it appears that this setting has a big impact. please turn it on to see if that fixes it, and file a bug so it can be tracked.
  1. 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.
