  • powerline

    Powerline is a statusline plugin for vim, and provides statuslines and prompts for several other applications, including zsh, bash, tmux, IPython, Awesome and Qtile.

    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.
