powerline VS galaxyline.nvim

Powerline (and airline, as well as all plugins of that kind) offers, among other things, a GUI that helps you manage buffers and tabs. There are plugins that do just that and nothing else, which are best used alongside powerline/airline/etc, for example bufferline.

Powerline Provides a much nicer status line in Vim, including integration with Git to tell you what branch you’re on and the tracking status of the file you’re working on.

powerline includes prompts for bash and zsh that include git info. (despite selling itself as a vim statusline, I believe you can use its shell prompts without using it with vim.)

Could also be a patched font. Some fonts use the private use area of unicode to draw glyphs for use in interface. Check out for example these patched fonts for Powerline on GitHub. Powerline is a status line plugin for vim and it uses text to draw the interface. If you download one, drop it on a font visualizer e.g. fontdrop.info you'll see a range of specific glyphs inside the private use area (E000–F8FF). There's even an Ubuntu logo at E0FF.

You are wrong

Wait until you discover that you can apply powerline to both of them

IBM Plex is an interesting font that I'm looking forward to, and I would like to try it out. However, you may be in similar setup as I am, which relays on Powerline glyphs in order to display vim/statusline/prompt correctly.

Looks like I installed this one via apt-get. To use it, I have this in my ~/.config/fish/fish.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.
