*airline.txt* Lean and mean statusline that's light as air
|
||
|
||
==============================================================================
|
||
INTRODUCTION *airline*
|
||
|
||
There's already powerline <https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline>, why yet
|
||
another statusline?
|
||
|
||
* it's 100% vimscript; no python needed.
|
||
* it's small. i want the core 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 a variety of popular plugins, including:
|
||
* fugitve <https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive>
|
||
* syntastic <https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic>
|
||
* vim-bufferline <https://github.com/bling/vim-bufferline>
|
||
* unite <https://github.com/Shougo/unite.vim>
|
||
* ctrlp <https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim>
|
||
* lawrencium <https://bitbucket.org/ludovicchabant/vim-lawrencium>
|
||
* 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.
|
||
* it's fully customizable; if you know a little |statusline| syntax you can
|
||
tweak it to your needs.
|
||
* it's trivial to write colorschemes; for a minimal theme you need to edit
|
||
9 lines of colors. (please send pull requests if you create new themes!)

||
NAME *airline-name*
|
||
|
||
Where did the name come from?
|
||
|
||
I wrote this on an airplane, and since it's light as air it turned out to be a
|
||
good name :-)
|
||
|
||

||
CONFIGURATION *airline-configuration*

|
||
|
||
For more intricate customizations, you can replace the predefined sections
|
||
with the usual statusline syntax.
|
||
|
||
>
|
||
" here are the the default values
|
||
let g:airline_section_a (the mode/paste indicator)
|
||
let g:airline_section_b (the fugitive/lawrencium branch indicator)
|
||
let g:airline_section_c (bufferline or filename)
|
||
let g:airline_section_gutter (syntastic and readonly flag)
|
||
let g:airline_section_x (filetype)
|
||
let g:airline_section_y (fileencoding, fileformat)
|
||
let g:airline_section_z (percentage, line number, column number)
|
||
|
||
" here is an example of how you could replace the branch indicator with
|
||
" the current working directory, followed by the filename.
|
||
let g:airline_section_b = '%{getcwd()}'
|
||
let g:airline_section_c = '%t'
|
||
<
|
||
|
||
If there is a particular plugin or filetype that is not supported, you can
|
||
extend it by adding a function reference to the global array. Here is an
|
||
example that you could add to your vimrc:
|
||
>
|
||
function! MyPlugin()
|
||
if &filetype == 'MyPluginFileType'
|
||
let w:airline_section_a = 'MyPlugin'
|
||
let w:airline_section_b = '%f'
|
||
let w:airline_section_c = '%{MyPlugin#function()}'
|
||
endif
|
||
endfunction
|
||
call add(g:airline_window_override_funcrefs, function('MyPlugin'))
|
||
<
|
||
|
||
In a similar fashion, you can define a function to exclude a window from
|
||
having its statusline modified.
|
||
>
|
||
function! ExcludeFoo()
|
||
return &filetype == 'FooType'
|
||
endfunction
|
||
call add(g:airline_exclude_funcrefs, function('ExcludeFoo'))

WRITING THEMES *airline-themes*
|
||
|
||
Themes are written "close to the metal" -- you will need to know some basic
|
||
VimL syntax to write a theme, but if you're written in any programming
|
||
language it will be easy to pick up. Have a look at the dark.vim theme
|
||
where it is fully documented.
