### The powerline font symbols are not showing up
The older deprecated [vim-powerline][a] uses different font codes; ensure you are using v2 fonts.
### There is a pause when leaving insert mode
You need to set `ttimeoutlen` to a low number; 50 is recommended.
### You don't see any colors
All of the themes use a 256 terminal color palette. It's likely that the value of `t_Co` is misconfigured. please see this [article][n] on how to configure your terminal. Pull requests for 8 and 16 color terminals are welcome.
### You get the error `Unknown function: fugitive#head`
You are probably using version 1.2, which is very old...download v2 from the [project page][d].
### vim-airline doesn't appear until i create a new split
Add `set laststatus=2` to your vimrc.
### vim-bufferline is printing to the statusline as well as the command bar
You can disable automatic echoing by adding `let g:bufferline_echo = 0` to your vimrc.
### The statusline wraps
You are probably using iTerm with double-width characters enabled. Either disable this, or `set ambiwidth=double` in your vimrc.
### How do i get rid of the default mode indicator?
Add `set noshowmode` to your vimrc.
