# vim-airline
lean & mean statusline for vim
lean & mean statusline for vim that's light as air
# rationale
there's already [powerline](https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline), why yet another statusline?
there's already [powerline][b], 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](https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive) and [syntastic](https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic)
* gets you 90% of the way there: in addition to all the standard goodies, supports [fugitive](https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive) and [syntastic](https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic)
* integration with [vim-bufferline](https://github.com/bling/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.
# 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 :-)

* `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
# faq
# demo
1. the powerline font symbols are not showing up
* the older deprecated [vim-powerline][a] uses different codes compared to the newer [powerline][b].
* you can grab prepatched fonts at [powerline-fonts][c], or you can manually set the relevant `g:` variables
2. leaving insert mode does not update the statusline
* this has been reproducible on older versions of vim, please use a newer version of vim
