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
  • it gets you 90% of the way there; in addition to all the standard goodies, it integrates with vim-bufferline, fugitive, and syntastic
  • it looks good with regular fonts, and provides configuration points so you can use unicode or powerline symbols
  • it's fast to load, taking only 0.5ms. 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

  1. 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
  1. there is a pause when leaving insert mode
  • you need to set ttimeoutlen to a low number; 50 is recommended
  1. the colors don't change
  • ensure that set t_Co=256 is set in your vimrc
