This is done with a function which should return string appropriate for |statusline|. Its code should be similar to default one with structure: - Compute string data for every section you want to be displayed. - Combine them in groups with `MiniStatusline.combine_groups()`. - Built-in active mode indicator with colors. - Sections can hide information when window is too narrow (specific window width is configurable per section). ## Dependencies For full experience needs (still works without any of suggestions): - [Nerd font](https://www.nerdfonts.com/) and enabled ['mini.icons'](https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/blob/main/readmes/mini-icons.md) module to show filetype icons. Can fall back to using [nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons](https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons) plugin. - Enabled ['mini.git'](https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/blob/main/readmes/mini-git.md) and ['mini.diff'](https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/blob/main/readmes/mini-diff.md) modules to show Git and diff related information. Can fall back to using [lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim](https://github.com/lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim) plugin. ## Installation This plugin can be installed as part of 'mini.nvim' library (**recommended**) or as a standalone Git repository. There are two branches to install from: - `main` (default, **recommended**) will have latest development version of plugin. All changes since last stable release should be perceived as being in beta testing phase (meaning they already passed alpha-testing and are moderately settled). - `stable` will be updated only upon releases with code tested during public beta-testing phase in `main` branch. Here are code snippets for some common installation methods (use only one):

With mini.deps

Github repo	Branch	Code snippet
'mini.nvim' library	Main	Follow recommended 'mini.deps' installation
	Stable
Standalone plugin	Main	add('echasnovski/mini.statusline')
	Stable	add({ source = 'echasnovski/mini.statusline', checkout = 'stable' })

With folke/lazy.nvim

Github repo	Branch	Code snippet
'mini.nvim' library	Main	{ 'echasnovski/mini.nvim', version = false },
	Stable	{ 'echasnovski/mini.nvim', version = '*' },
Standalone plugin	Main	{ 'echasnovski/mini.statusline', version = false },
	Stable	{ 'echasnovski/mini.statusline', version = '*' },

With junegunn/vim-plug

Github repo	Branch	Code snippet
'mini.nvim' library	Main	Plug 'echasnovski/mini.nvim'
	Stable	Plug 'echasnovski/mini.nvim', { 'branch': 'stable' }
Standalone plugin	Main	Plug 'echasnovski/mini.statusline'
	Stable	Plug 'echasnovski/mini.statusline', { 'branch': 'stable' }

**Important**: don't forget to call `require('mini.statusline').setup()` to enable its functionality. **Note**: if you are on Windows, there might be problems with too long file paths (like `error: unable to create file : Filename too long`). Try doing one of the following: - Enable corresponding git global config value: `git config --system core.longpaths true`. Then try to reinstall. - Install plugin in other place with shorter path. ## Default config ```lua -- No need to copy this inside `setup()`. Will be used automatically. { -- Content of statusline as functions which return statusline string. See -- `:h statusline` and code of default contents (used instead of `nil`). content = { -- Content for active window active = nil, -- Content for inactive window(s) inactive = nil, }, -- Whether to use icons by default use_icons = true, -- Whether to set Vim's settings for statusline (make it always shown with -- 'laststatus' set to 2). -- To use global statusline, set this to `false` and 'laststatus' to 3. set_vim_settings = true, } ``` ## Similar plugins - [nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim](https://github.com/nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim)
