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 :)

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.
