galaxyline.nvim VS neovim

Oh yeah, galaxyline it certainly looks cool

I currently use feline.nvim as a framework for creating my custom statusline, and before that I was using galaxyline.nvim. A feature that I would really like though is for each section of the statusline to able to dynamically resize based on the window size, and dissappear if the window gets narrow enough, based on some priority that I give them and some truncation rule. By truncation I mean that for instance a file path could get shortened by pathshorten(), the filetype indicator would only display the devicon and not the filetype name, nvim-gps would only use a depth of 1, etc... This behaviour would be defined by the user, but the framework would calculate which components to truncate in order to fit as many as possible in the priority that the user has chosen for each component.

Thank you! I'm using galaxyline.nvim with my own setup called neonline.lua.

I'm currently using galaxyline.nvim and have fully customized config that I'm happy with but I've encountered a few bugs I've had to work around and, in some ways, it is even more bare bones than feline. I'll have to give feline a try when I get some time. The good documentation is enough for me to at least try it :)

Maybe vim-airline or galaxyline (neovim only) will work for you.

Is galaxyline.nvim no longer being worked on? The last commit in galaxyline was 4 months ago.

As a software engineer, choosing and understanding your text editor is important part of your work, as it impacts your productivity and workflow efficiency. It's like choosing the perfect tool for any trade - you need to know what tool to use and how to use it effectively if you want to excel. For me, I use Neovim as my editor and I have been using it for a little over a year now.

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack. If you don't have Git, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/downloads

There are several ways to install Neovim. This wiki provides several guidelines on how to install Neovim.

All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.
