statusline.lua VS .config

I made this statusline plugin for the same purpose :) Clean and minimal, with everything you need and zero config required.

Funny enough I use _ for my own statusline.lua plugin

My code is rookie af right now. So it should be fairly easy to have a read through and understand how it works :) statusline.lua

Cool! I recently made one myself too. Ended up releasing it so you can install it right away. I plan to remove dependencies in the future and make the codebase far less cruddy :) https://github.com/beauwilliams/statusline.lua

Yes, not at first, but now I am comfortable with lua. It makes things much easier to script. This is probably the first time in my life where I have appreciated a language for its ergonomics. As I am still just a 2nd year uni student. I even ended up writing my own statusline plugin!

I even ended up releasing my own statusline plugin to try and get the hang of things. (shameless plug 😜) --> https://github.com/beauwilliams/statusline.lua

I've done my best to keep my config simple and sane: https://github.com/heygarrett/.config/tree/main/nvim

One option the docs don't list is using an autocommand, which is what I do because I overrule the indentation options for all file types.

I use a combination of guess-indent.nvim and :h listchars. Here's how I use them together in my config.

I even wrote my own autocmd for auto-completion, which was a lot of fun and helped me learn a lot about Neovim. Together with nvim-snippy it meets all of my needs (so far).

I'm late to the party, but I did configure my statusline without a plugin: - Screenshot - Config

I added an autocmd to make it automatic.

I learned a lot, and I created my own automated workflow for sessions that I’m quite happy about. I think the best part is it may not cover every use case I encounter, which means I get to keep learning and I get to become more familiar with a tool I use daily.

I use this in my custom statusline config, which you can see here.

This is how I currently configure my indentation. The autocmd overrides anything set by the ftplugin files during startup, and that's the easiest method I've found keep my preferences across every file type.

I think the built-in filetype plugin files are sourced after your vimrc. I got around this by adding an autocmd to re-set my indentation preferences after the ftplugins are loaded.
