vim-airline

lean & mean statusline for vim that's light as air

rationale

there's already powerline, why yet another statusline?

it's 100% vimscript; no python needed.
it's small. i want the core plugin to be less than 200 lines as a rule (specifically adhering to the open/closed principle).
it gets you 90% of the way there; in addition to all the standard goodies, it integrates with vim-bufferline, fugitive, unite, ctrlp 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 roughly 1ms. by comparison, powerline needs 60ms on the same machine.
it's fully customizable; if you know a little statusline syntax you can tweak it to your needs.
it is trivial to write colorschemes; for a minimal theme you need to edit 9 lines of colors.

the old version still works well, but since it's deprecated new features won't get added

i wrote the initial version on an airplane, and since it's light as air it turned out to be a good name. thanks for flying vim!

:help airline

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
there is a pause when leaving insert mode
you need to set ttimeoutlen to a low number; 50 is recommended
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.
airline doesn't appear until i create a new split
add set laststatus=2 to your vimrc
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

if you encounter a bug, please reproduce it with this minivimrc repository i created and file an issue.
