This is an experimental feature that allows to display the statusline in
the tabline. It might still be a bit rough, but seems to work so far.
Remaining problem:
- Mode changes are not immediately detected, only after moving the
cursor

Startify unfortunately does not set the buftype option, so the
`[noperm]` would be shown, since the buffer is not really a file.
(see mhinz/vim-startify#324)
So allow to blacklist startify from this setting. To do so, the logic
from the tabline extension was refactored out into a separate function
that returns true, if the buffer matches
`g:airline#extensions#tabline#ignore_bufadd_pat` and that function is
then reused for the readonly() function as well.
rather let them be defined whenever they are needed. They were only used
inside a single function anyhow, so it does not make sense to cache
them. In addition, having the user later change the variable won't work
as expected.
calling settabvar() while evaluating the 'tabline' setting apparently
causes flicker on Windows. Fall back to using `:let t:var` to store the
content in the current tabpage.
This is not as good as using `settabvar()` since we cannot store the
title for other tabs, but at least it should prevent the flicker and at
the same time at least cache the title for the current tabpage.
commit #3d667c32d3ac04 fixed a bug, that a section was not considered
empty for the statusline, also g:airline_skip_empty was set.
However unfortunately, this lead to a regression, makeing the tabline
ugly, because sections, that contained a single highlighting group would
be considered empty and would therefore be skipped. Since this is not
what is expected, make s:section_is_empty() return zero, when it notices
we are looking at a tabline.
fixes#1273
This is a new tabline extension, that displays both the buffers open and
the available tabs. This has been requested by #639 and fixes#639.
This is based on blings work on branch spike.
This uses the new highlight groups tab*_right, so that the separators
have the correct color. Also this makes some configuration variable
obsolete and therefore, they have been removed.
remove unused combined config variable, remove space after tab
Try a different approach, that does not echo
the commandline. For that, create a <silent> mapping,
that is called via feedkeys() and as such should update the tabline.
fixes#1011
Solution: Use the current one from ctrlspace 5.0 + minor style fixes
Problem: CtrlSpace 5.0 does no longer work with airline
Solution: Modify the ctrlspace extension to call the new APIs
The statusline work fine but the custom ctrlspace function
somehow/somewhere gets overridden and I could not figure out where.
Therefore the user must add
let g:CtrlSpaceStatuslineFunction = "airline#extensions#ctrlspace#statusline()"
to its .vimrc.
Problem: Ctrlspace 5.0 does not integrate well into tabline
Solution: Write a tabline extensions for ctrlspace 5.0.
The extensions is capable of showing both tabs and buffers, but only the
buffers of a current tab are shown.
Most of them seem to be caused by using :hi statements, although the
highlighting group to be created is exactly the same. Therefore, get the
info from actual definition and only execute :hi when the new group is
actually different.
Also try to avoid to generate :hi statements when the popupmen is
visible. This causes flickers.
This is probably a bug in Vim because redrawing might cause
Vim to actually try to access a line of the buffer, that hasn't
been loaded yet.
Therefore try to update the tabline, by performing a two :set mod!
calls.
