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
- gets you 90% of the way there: in addition to all the standard goodies, supports fugitive and syntastic
- integration with vim-bufferline
- looks good with regular fonts, with support to use powerline font glyths
- it's fast to load. since it's so small, it only takes 0.5ms to load. by comparison, powerline needs 60ms on the same machine.
why's it called airline?
i wrote this on an airplane, and since it's light as air it turned out to be a good name. thanks for flying vim!

faq
- 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
- leaving insert mode does not update the statusline
- this has been reproducible on older versions of vim, please use a newer version of vim
