Lualine.nvim - A blazing fast and easy to configure Neovim statusline written in Lua

Many of you already know I've been maintaining a fork of lualine shadmansaleh for a while.If you didn't know check this out.

See https://github.com/hoob3rt/lualine.nvim/pull/311 for more details and to see what the difference are.

# 🎁 Features - Multiple colorschemes (AKA [flavors](#-flavors)) available! - Handy CLI for loading colorschemes. - Allows user remaps. - Extensible for many use cases. - Integrations with a lot of stuff: - [Treesitter](https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter) - [Native LSP](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig) - [Telescope](https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim) - [LSP Saga](https://github.com/glepnir/lspsaga.nvim) - [Trouble](https://github.com/folke/trouble.nvim) - [WhichKey](https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim) - [Git signs](https://github.com/lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim) - [BarBar](https://github.com/romgrk/barbar.nvim) - [NvimTree](https://github.com/kyazdani42/nvim-tree.lua) - [Lualine](https://github.com/hoob3rt/lualine.nvim) - [Git Gutter](https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter) - [Fern](https://github.com/lambdalisue/fern.vim) - [Lightline](https://github.com/itchyny/lightline.vim) - [Dashboard](https://github.com/glepnir/dashboard-nvim) - [Markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org/) - [Sneak](https://github.com/justinmk/vim-sneak) - [Neogit](https://github.com/TimUntersberger/neogit) - [Indent Blankline](https://github.com/lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim)

Lualine is in a pretty similar situation. There is no activity since 05/27 and there is a fork with 32 commits waiting to be accepted.

In lualine you can have extentions . Extention confuguration is similar to normal configuration except you get to chose which filetypes to display that for . You can put extention files in your config usually ~/.config/nvim/lua/lualine/extensions folder and load them in your config :)

Fuzzy Finder: fzf.vim (for its speed) along with telescope.nvim (for its ecosystem)

And added my keyboard shortcuts.

There are two plugins allowing us to use fzf in Vim: the native fzf plugin directly installed with fzf, and fzf.vim. The second plugin is built on the first one.

You might be interested in installing the fzf-vim plugin [0]. It has a user-defined command :Maps which can be used to search through all keybindings (you can also do this with just :nmap in vim, but the fzf interface is much nicer). It also provides :Commands. This behaves remarkably like VSCode's command palette.

You'll also need https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim (which is imo the only vim plugin that's a must).

I do all my file operations from the command line. But to open and search files I use fzf

Regarding plugins , I am using https://github.com/Donaldttt/fuzzyy because it works in windows, unlike https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim

There's a :Buffers command in fzf.vim that I use extensively. It opens a fuzzy-find window with all open buffers in a MRU list.

Thanks to fzf.vim and fzf-lua, everything I learned and copied is from them.

they're likely referring to fzf.vim, the vimscript plugin from the original fzf author that wraps around fzf. there's also fzf-lua nowadays.
