Useful settings
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
You may find the following vim settings useful when using the Powerline
|
|
statusline:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: vim
|
|
|
|
set laststatus=2 " Always display the statusline in all windows
|
|
set noshowmode " Hide the default mode text (e.g. -- INSERT -- below the statusline)
|
|
|

============

|
|
|
Terminus font and urxvt
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
The Terminus fonts does not have the powerline glyphs and unless someone submits
|
|
a patch to the font author, it is unlikely to happen. However, Andre Klärner
|
|
came up with this work around: In your ``~/.Xdefault`` file add the following::
|
|
|
|
urxvt*font: xft:Terminus:pixelsize=12,xft:Inconsolata\ for\ Powerline:pixelsize=12
|
|
|
|
This will allow urxvt to fallback onto the Inconsolata fonts in case it does not
|
|
find the right glyphs within the terminus font.
|
|
|
|
Source Code Pro font and urxvt
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Much like the terminus font that was mentioned above, a similar fix can be
|
|
applied to the Source Code Pro fonts.
|
|
|
|
In the ``~/.Xdefaults`` add the following::
|
|
|
|
URxvt*font: xft:Source\ Code\ Pro\ Medium:pixelsize=13:antialias=true:hinting=true,xft:Source\ Code\ Pro\ Medium:pixelsize=13:antialias=true:hinting=true
|
|
|
|
I noticed that Source Code Pro has the glyphs there already, but the pixel size
|
|
of the fonts play a role in whether or not the > or the < separators showing up
|
|
or not. Using font size 12, glyphs on the right hand side of the powerline are
|
|
present, but the ones on the left don't. Pixel size 14, brings the reverse
|
|
problem. Font size 13 seems to work just fine.
