vim-airline

lean & mean statusline for vim

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 fugitve and syntastic
• it's fast. since it's so small, it only takes 0.6ms to load. by requiring python, 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 :-)

configuration

there are a couple configuration values available:

• g:airline_left_sep the seperator used on the left side
• g:airline_right_sep the seperator used on the right side
• g:airline_enable_fugitive enable/disable fugitive integration
• g:airline_enable_syntastic enable/disable syntastic integration
