staline.nvim

TLDR; staline(statusline): A simple statusline for neovim written in lua. stabline(s-tabline): A simple bufferline for neovim written in lua. (sry didnt get a better name.)

Requirements

• Requires neovim version 0.5.0+
• vim.opt.laststatus=2 in your init.lua for statusline.
• vim.opt.showtabline=2 in your init.lua for bufferline.

Installation

• Vim-plug:

  Plug 'tamton-aquib/staline.nvim'
  

• Packer

  use 'tamton-aquib/staline.nvim'
  

• NOTE:* Doing this will install both staline and stabline. But separate setup() is required for each to load up.

TODO

• User configuration options. Needs more work.
• Git info. Only branch info for now, (or ever)
• Adding "opt-in" bufferline function.
• Add config options for bufferline.
• lsp client name in staline.
• buf numbers in stabline.
