## Why yet another clone of powerline?
|
|
+ [vim-powerline](https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-powerline) is a nice plugin, but deprecated.
|
|
+ [powerline](https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline) is a nice plugin, but difficult to configure.
|
|
+ [vim-airline](https://github.com/bling/vim-airline) is a nice plugin, but it uses too much functions of other plugins, which should be done by users in `.vimrc`.
|
|
|
|
## Spirit of this plugin
|
|
+ Minimalism. The core script is very small.
|
|
+ Configurability. You can create your own component and easily add to the statusline/tabline.
|
|
+ Orthogonality. Any plugin should not change the settings of another plugin. Such plugin-crossing settings should be written by users in `.vimrc`.

## Configuration tutorial
|
|
By default, the statusline looks like:
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/1.png)
|
|
|
|
If you use the wombat colorscheme, add the following settings to your `.vimrc` (or \_vimrc on Windows):
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:lightline = {
|
|
\ 'colorscheme': 'wombat',
|
|
\ }
|
|
```
|
|
to get:
|
|
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/2.png)
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your statusline looks like
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/21.png)
|
|
|
|
and the cool statuslines appear only on `:vsp`, add
|
|
```vim
|
|
set laststatus=2
|
|
```
|
|
to your `.vimrc`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have problem like
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/20.png)
|
|
|
|
then add
|
|
```sh
|
|
export TERM=xterm-256color
|
|
```
|
|
to your `.*shrc` and add
|
|
```vim
|
|
if !has('gui_running')
|
|
set t_Co=256
|
|
endif
|
|
```
|
|
to your `.vimrc`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the colors of the statusline do not change from the default colors, move the settings of `g:lightline` before setting the colorscheme.
|
|
|
|
If you are reloading your `.vimrc` via `autocmd` and get this problem
|
|
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/20.png)
|
|
|
|
when saving it you need to add the nested flag to your `autocmd` like so
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
augroup reload_vimrc
|
|
autocmd!
|
|
autocmd bufwritepost $MYVIMRC nested source $MYVIMRC
|
|
augroup END
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Colors appear correctly? Now let's see how to change the appearance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may think that the default read-only mark is not so cool:
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/3.png)
|
|
|
|
Then edit the read-only component.
|
|
The lightline components are stored in `g:lightline.component`.
|
|
So you add the settings of `g:lightline.component.readonly` in your `.vimrc`. (the following settings are effective with the patched font for vim-powerline):
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:lightline = {
|
|
\ 'colorscheme': 'wombat',
|
|
\ 'component': {
|
|
\ 'readonly': '%{&readonly?"⭤":""}',
|
|
\ }
|
|
\ }
|
|
```
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/4.png)
|
|
|
|
How nice!
|
|
|
|
But the boundaries are quadrilateral. You may miss the powerline.
|
|
You have installed a cool font for powerlines, so you can use it.
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:lightline = {
|
|
\ 'colorscheme': 'wombat',
|
|
\ 'component': {
|
|
\ 'readonly': '%{&readonly?"⭤":""}',
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ 'separator': { 'left': '⮀', 'right': '⮂' },
|
|
\ 'subseparator': { 'left': '⮁', 'right': '⮃' }
|
|
\ }
|
|
```
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/5.png)
|
|
|
|
Hurrah! Cool!
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your statusline looks like:
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/16.png)
|
|
|
|
the patched font is not installed.
|
|
|
|
There are two kinds of patched fonts:
|
|
|
|
+ The patched fonts for [vim-powerline](https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-powerline): see https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-powerline/tree/develop/fontpatcher
|
|
+ The patched fonts for [powerline](https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline): see https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts
|
|
|
|
Create or download a font and install it.
|
|
And add the `guifont` setting to your `.vimrc` (see `:help 'guifont'` for more detail).
|
|
If you are using the vim in a terminal, the font cannot be controlled in `.vimrc`.
|
|
Open the setting of the terminal and select the patched font.
|
|
|
|
This tutorial is based on the former, the font for vim-powerline (Inconsolata for Powerline).
|
|
If you have installed the patched font for powerline, use the following settings instead.
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:lightline = {
|
|
\ 'colorscheme': 'wombat',
|
|
\ 'component': {
|
|
\ 'readonly': '%{&readonly?"":""}',
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ 'separator': { 'left': '', 'right': '' },
|
|
\ 'subseparator': { 'left': '', 'right': '' }
|
|
\ }
|
|
```
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/19.png)
|
|
|
|
If you have installed the font for powerline and your statusline looks like
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/18.png)
|
|
|
|
remove
|
|
```vim
|
|
set ambiwidth=double
|
|
```
|
|
from your `.vimrc`. If you want to keep this setting, use the patched font for vim-powerline.
|
|
+ https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-powerline/tree/develop/fontpatcher
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you will not install a patched font, use ascii characters like:
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:lightline = {
|
|
\ 'colorscheme': 'wombat',
|
|
\ 'component': {
|
|
\ 'readonly': '%{&readonly?"x":""}',
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ 'separator': { 'left': '', 'right': '' },
|
|
\ 'subseparator': { 'left': '|', 'right': '|' }
|
|
\ }
|
|
```
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/17.png)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the triangles do not appear (but you get some spaces or weird characters like <bf> or ¿), firstly try adding
|
|
```vim
|
|
set encoding=utf-8
|
|
scriptencoding utf-8
|
|
```
|
|
to the head of your `.vimrc`.
|
|
Still you have weird characters, use the unicode numbers. For powerline font
|
|
users:
|
|
```vim
|
|
\ 'separator': { 'left': "\ue0b0", 'right': "\ue0b2" },
|
|
\ 'subseparator': { 'left': "\ue0b1", 'right': "\ue0b3" }
|
|
```
|
|
For vim-powerline font users:
|
|
```vim
|
|
\ 'separator': { 'left': "\u2b80", 'right': "\u2b82" },
|
|
\ 'subseparator': { 'left': "\u2b81", 'right': "\u2b83" }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Almost all of things go well with the patched font but if the triangle looks weird:
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/22.png)
|
|
|
|
If you are using iTerm2, change the following settings of iTerm2:
|
|
+ set `Profiles>Colors>Minimum contrast` to the Lowest.
|
|
+ set `Profiles>Window>Transparency` to the Opaquest.
|
|
|
|
For other terminals, this weird-triangle problem will be resolved by disabling transparency or contrast adjustment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to get rid of the extraneous default vim mode information that is now provided by lightline:
|
|
![lightline.vim - showmode](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/showmode.png)
|
|
```vim
|
|
set noshowmode
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now, let us get back to the tutorial (with the patched font for vim-powerline).
|
|
You look into a help file to find the marks annoying.
|
|
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/6.png)
|
|
|
|
Help files are read-only and no-modifiable? We know that!
|
|
OK, so you again edit the components.
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:lightline = {
|
|
\ 'colorscheme': 'wombat',
|
|
\ 'component': {
|
|
\ 'readonly': '%{&filetype=="help"?"":&readonly?"⭤":""}',
|
|
\ 'modified': '%{&filetype=="help"?"":&modified?"+":&modifiable?"":"-"}'
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ 'separator': { 'left': '⮀', 'right': '⮂' },
|
|
\ 'subseparator': { 'left': '⮁', 'right': '⮃' }
|
|
\ }
|
|
```
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/7.png)
|
|
|
|
Huh? Weird!
|
|
The components do not collapse even if they have no information!
|
|
In order to avoid this situation, you set expressions to `g:lightline.component_visible_condition`, which should become 1 only when the corresponding components have information.
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:lightline = {
|
|
\ 'colorscheme': 'wombat',
|
|
\ 'component': {
|
|
\ 'readonly': '%{&filetype=="help"?"":&readonly?"⭤":""}',
|
|
\ 'modified': '%{&filetype=="help"?"":&modified?"+":&modifiable?"":"-"}'
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ 'component_visible_condition': {
|
|
\ 'readonly': '(&filetype!="help"&& &readonly)',
|
|
\ 'modified': '(&filetype!="help"&&(&modified||!&modifiable))'
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ 'separator': { 'left': '⮀', 'right': '⮂' },
|
|
\ 'subseparator': { 'left': '⮁', 'right': '⮃' }
|
|
\ }
|
|
```
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/8.png)
|
|
|
|
Okay. It works nice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
How does lightline decide the components to show in the statusline?
|
|
It's very simple.
|
|
The variables to select components are `g:lightline.active.left` and `g:lightline.active.right`.
|
|
For example, you add the `g:lightline.active.left` in `.vimrc`.
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:lightline = {
|
|
\ 'colorscheme': 'wombat',
|
|
\ 'active': {
|
|
\ 'left': [ [ 'mode', 'paste' ],
|
|
\ [ 'readonly', 'filename', 'modified' ] ]
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ 'component': {
|
|
\ 'readonly': '%{&filetype=="help"?"":&readonly?"⭤":""}',
|
|
\ 'modified': '%{&filetype=="help"?"":&modified?"+":&modifiable?"":"-"}'
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ 'component_visible_condition': {
|
|
\ 'readonly': '(&filetype!="help"&& &readonly)',
|
|
\ 'modified': '(&filetype!="help"&&(&modified||!&modifiable))'
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ 'separator': { 'left': '⮀', 'right': '⮂' },
|
|
\ 'subseparator': { 'left': '⮁', 'right': '⮃' }
|
|
\ }
|
|
```
|
|
If the plugin arranges all the components (in a situation you `set paste` and the file `.vimrc` is read-only, try to modify):
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/9.png)
|
|
|
|
The mode component, the paste component, read-only component, filename component and modified component in a row.
|
|
Normally, the paste component does not show up.
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/10.png)
|
|
|
|
If the file is not read-only (more common cases), the read-only component does not show up.
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/11.png)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Again look into `g:lightline.active.left`.
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:lightline = {
|
|
\ 'active': {
|
|
\ 'left': [ [ 'mode', 'paste' ],
|
|
\ [ 'readonly', 'filename', 'modified' ] ] ...
|
|
```
|
|
And the screen shot of all the components.
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/9.png)
|
|
|
|
The mode and paste component are displayed in the same group.
|
|
The read-only, filename and modified component are in the second group.
|
|
It corresponds to the structure of `g:lightline.active.left`.
|
|
You can configure the components in the statusline by the following four variables:
|
|
+ `g:lightline.active.left`
|
|
+ `g:lightline.active.right`
|
|
+ `g:lightline.inactive.left`
|
|
+ `g:lightline.inactive.right`
|
|
|
|
Of course, your settings in `.vimrc` have priority over the default settings in lightline.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GitHub branch is important for us.
|
|
And it is a default component in [powerline](https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline) and [vim-powerline](https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-powerline).
|
|
However, lightline does not provide the branch feature by default.
|
|
|
|
In order to show the branch in the statusline, you firstly install the [vim-fugitive](https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive) plugin.
|
|
Then edit the `g:lightline` in your `.vimrc`.
|
|
+ Add your fugitive component to `g:lightline.component`.
|
|
+ Add the condition when the fugitive component has information to `g:lightline.component_visible_condition`.
|
|
+ Add the component by inserting `'fugitive'` to `g:lightline.active.left`.
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:lightline = {
|
|
\ 'colorscheme': 'wombat',
|
|
\ 'active': {
|
|
\ 'left': [ [ 'mode', 'paste' ],
|
|
\ [ 'fugitive', 'readonly', 'filename', 'modified' ] ]
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ 'component': {
|
|
\ 'readonly': '%{&filetype=="help"?"":&readonly?"⭤":""}',
|
|
\ 'modified': '%{&filetype=="help"?"":&modified?"+":&modifiable?"":"-"}',
|
|
\ 'fugitive': '%{exists("*fugitive#head")?fugitive#head():""}'
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ 'component_visible_condition': {
|
|
\ 'readonly': '(&filetype!="help"&& &readonly)',
|
|
\ 'modified': '(&filetype!="help"&&(&modified||!&modifiable))',
|
|
\ 'fugitive': '(exists("*fugitive#head") && ""!=fugitive#head())'
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ 'separator': { 'left': '⮀', 'right': '⮂' },
|
|
\ 'subseparator': { 'left': '⮁', 'right': '⮃' }
|
|
\ }
|
|
```
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/12.png)
|
|
|
|
Okay, the branch component is added!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now, you might get tired of setting both `'component'` and `'component_visible_condition'`.
|
|
Or if you want to do something more complicated?
|
|
|
|
|
|
In fact, the components can be created using functions.
|
|
Add your function names for components to `g:lightline.component_function`.
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:lightline = {
|
|
\ 'colorscheme': 'wombat',
|
|
\ 'active': {
|
|
\ 'left': [ [ 'mode', 'paste' ],
|
|
\ [ 'fugitive', 'readonly', 'filename', 'modified' ] ]
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ 'component_function': {
|
|
\ 'fugitive': 'LightLineFugitive',
|
|
\ 'readonly': 'LightLineReadonly',
|
|
\ 'modified': 'LightLineModified'
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ 'separator': { 'left': '⮀', 'right': '⮂' },
|
|
\ 'subseparator': { 'left': '⮁', 'right': '⮃' }
|
|
\ }
|
|
|
|
function! LightLineModified()
|
|
if &filetype == "help"
|
|
return ""
|
|
elseif &modified
|
|
return "+"
|
|
elseif &modifiable
|
|
return ""
|
|
else
|
|
return ""
|
|
endif
|
|
endfunction
|
|
|
|
function! LightLineReadonly()
|
|
if &filetype == "help"
|
|
return ""
|
|
elseif &readonly
|
|
return "⭤"
|
|
else
|
|
return ""
|
|
endif
|
|
endfunction
|
|
|
|
function! LightLineFugitive()
|
|
return exists('*fugitive#head') ? fugitive#head() : ''
|
|
endfunction
|
|
```
|
|
![lightline.vim - tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/itchyny/lightline.vim/image/tutorial/13.png)
|
|
|
|
Fine and readable!

Finally, you come up with concatenating the three components: the read-only mark, the filename and the modified mark.
|
|
Now you may know what to do.
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:lightline = {
|
|
\ 'colorscheme': 'wombat',
|
|
\ 'active': {
|
|
\ 'left': [ [ 'mode', 'paste' ],
|
|
\ [ 'fugitive', 'filename' ] ]
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ 'component_function': {
|
|
\ 'fugitive': 'LightLineFugitive',
|
|
\ 'readonly': 'LightLineReadonly',
|
|
\ 'modified': 'LightLineModified',
|
|
\ 'filename': 'LightLineFilename'
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ 'separator': { 'left': '⮀', 'right': '⮂' },
|
|
\ 'subseparator': { 'left': '⮁', 'right': '⮃' }
|
|
\ }
|
|
|
|
function! LightLineModified()
|
|
if &filetype == "help"
|
|
return ""
|
|
elseif &modified
|
|
return "+"
|
|
elseif &modifiable
|
|
return ""
|
|
else
|
|
return ""
|
|
endif
|
|
endfunction
|
|
|
|
function! LightLineReadonly()
|
|
if &filetype == "help"
|
|
return ""
|
|
elseif &readonly
|
|
return "⭤"
|
|
else
|
|
return ""
|
|
endif
|
|
endfunction
|
|
|
|
function! LightLineFugitive()
|
|
return exists('*fugitive#head') ? fugitive#head() : ''
|
|
endfunction
|
|
|
|
function! LightLineFilename()
|
|
return ('' != LightLineReadonly() ? LightLineReadonly() . ' ' : '') .

Oops! We forgot the cool mark for the branch component! (work with the patched font for vim-powerline)
|
|
```vim
|
|
function! LightLineFugitive()
|
|
if exists("*fugitive#head")
|
|
let branch = fugitive#head()
|
|
return branch !=# '' ? '⭠ '.branch : ''
|
|
endif
|
|
return ''
|
|
endfunction
|
|
```

How cool!!!
|
|
|
|
Of course, you can name your component as you wish.
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:lightline = {
|
|
\ 'active': {
|
|
\ 'left': [ [ 'mode', 'paste' ],
|
|
\ [ 'my_component' ] ] },
|
|
\ 'component_function': {
|
|
\ 'my_component': 'LightLineComponent', ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is the end of the tutorial. For more information, see `:help lightline`. Good luck with your nice statuslines.

### Cool characters for the patched fonts
|
|
|
|
Symbol | Default | powerline | vim-powerline
|
|
------------------ | ------- | ------------- | -------------
|
|
separator.left | '' | '' (\ue0b0) | '⮀' (\u2b80)
|
|
separator.right | '' | '' (\ue0b2) | '⮂' (\u2b82)
|
|
subseparator.left | '\|' | '' (\ue0b1) | '⮁' (\u2b81)
|
|
subseparator.right | '\|' | '' (\ue0b3) | '⮃' (\u2b83)

|
|
linecolumn symbol | -- | '' (\ue0a1) | '⭡' (\u2b81)
|
|
|
|
### My settings
|

I show my settings. I use the patched font for vim-powerline.

\ 'colorscheme': 'landscape',
|
|
\ 'mode_map': { 'c': 'NORMAL' },
|
|
\ 'active': {
|
|
\ 'left': [ [ 'mode', 'paste' ], [ 'fugitive', 'filename' ] ]
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ 'component_function': {
|
|
\ 'modified': 'LightLineModified',
|
|
\ 'readonly': 'LightLineReadonly',
|
|
\ 'fugitive': 'LightLineFugitive',

function! LightLineModified()
|
|
return &ft =~ 'help\|vimfiler\|gundo' ? '' : &modified ? '+' : &modifiable ? '' : '-'
|
|
endfunction
|
|
|
|
function! LightLineReadonly()
|
|
return &ft !~? 'help\|vimfiler\|gundo' && &readonly ? '⭤' : ''
|
|
endfunction
|
|
|
|
function! LightLineFilename()
|
|
return ('' != LightLineReadonly() ? LightLineReadonly() . ' ' : '') .
|
|
\ (&ft == 'vimfiler' ? vimfiler#get_status_string() :
|
|
\ &ft == 'unite' ? unite#get_status_string() :
|
|
\ &ft == 'vimshell' ? vimshell#get_status_string() :
|
|
\ '' != expand('%:t') ? expand('%:t') : '[No Name]') .
|
|
\ ('' != LightLineModified() ? ' ' . LightLineModified() : '')
|
|
endfunction
|
|
|
|
function! LightLineFugitive()
|
|
if &ft !~? 'vimfiler\|gundo' && exists("*fugitive#head")
|
|
let branch = fugitive#head()
|
|
return branch !=# '' ? '⭠ '.branch : ''
|
|
endif
|
|
return ''
|
|
endfunction
|
|
|
|
function! LightLineFileformat()
|
|
return winwidth(0) > 70 ? &fileformat : ''
|
|
endfunction
|
|
|
|
function! LightLineFiletype()
|
|
return winwidth(0) > 70 ? (&filetype !=# '' ? &filetype : 'no ft') : ''
|
|
endfunction
|
|
|
|
function! LightLineFileencoding()
|
|
return winwidth(0) > 70 ? (&fenc !=# '' ? &fenc : &enc) : ''
|
|
endfunction
|
|
|
|
function! LightLineMode()
|
|
return winwidth(0) > 60 ? lightline#mode() : ''
|
|
endfunction
|
|
```
|
|
When the current window width is narrow, the mode component and the file information component collapse.
|
|
For example, the [gundo](https://github.com/sjl/gundo.vim) buffer is narrow.

### Note for developers of other plugins
|
|
Appearance consistency matters.
|
|
|
|
The statusline is an important space for Vim users.
|
|
Overwriting the statusline forcibly in your plugin is not a good idea.
|
|
It is not hospitality, but just an annoying feature.
|
|
If your plugin has such a feature, add an option to be modest.
|
|
|
|
A good design is the following.
|
|
Firstly, give the users a clue to judge which buffer is the one your plugin creates.
|
|
The filename is a manner and the filetype is another.
|
|
Then, export a function which is useful to be shown in the statusline.
|
|
Lastly, for advanced users, set important information in buffer variables.
|
|
So that the users can obtain the condition of the plugin easily.
