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
integration with vim-bufferline
looks good with regular fonts, with support to use powerline font glyths
it's fast to load. since it's so small, it only takes 0.5ms to load. by comparison, powerline needs 60ms on the same machine.

i wrote this on an airplane, and since it's light as air it turned out to be a good name :-)

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
g:airline_theme change the theme, currently only default is available
g:airline_powerline_fonts enable/disable usage of patched powerline font symbols
