PERFORMANCE COMPARISM *lualine-performance_comparism*
Unlike other statusline plugins lualine loads only defined components, nothing else.
Startup time performance measured with an amazing plugin
tweekmonster/startuptime.vim (https://github.com/tweekmonster/startuptime.vim)
All times are measured with only `startuptime.vim` and given statusline plugin
installed
| clean vimrc | lualine | lightline | airline |
| :------------: | :----------: | :----------: | :----------: |
| 8.943 ms | 9.034 ms | 11.463 ms | 13.425 ms |

INSTALLATION *lualine-installation*
VIM-PLUG *lualine-vim-plug*
>
Plug 'hoob3rt/lualine.nvim'
" If you want to have icons in your statusline choose one of these
Plug 'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons'
Plug 'ryanoasis/vim-devicons'
<
PACKER.NVIM *lualine-packer.nvim*
>
use {
'hoob3rt/lualine.nvim',
requires = {'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons', opt = true}
}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
USAGE AND CUSTOMIZATION *lualine-usage_and_customization*
Lualine has sections as shown below.
>
+-------------------------------------------------+
| A | B | C X | Y | Z |
+-------------------------------------------------+
<
Each sections holds it's components e.g. current vim's mode.
Colorscheme of sections is mirrored, meaning section `A` will have the same
colorscheme as section `Z` etc.
Configuration is currently limited to lua, please use lua block or a separate
lua file to configure lualine.
STARTING LUALINE *lualine-starting_lualine*
>
local lualine = require('lualine')
lualine.status()
<
SETTING A THEME *lualine-setting_a_theme*
>
lualine.theme = 'gruvbox'
<
All available themes are listed in THEMES.md (./THEMES.md)
Please create a pr if you managed to port a popular theme before me, here is
how to do it (./CONTRIBUTING.md).
CHANGING SEPARATOR IN SECTION *lualine-changing_separator*
Lualine defines a separator between components in given section, the default
separator is `|`. You can change the separator this way:
>
lualine.separator = '|'
<
or disable it
>
lualine.separator = ''
<
CHANGING COMPONENTS IN LUALINE SECTIONS *lualine-changing_components*
Lualine defaults~

BUILDING YOUR COMPONENTS *lualine-custom_components*
2021-02-09 14:27:42 +00:00
Using custom functions as lualine component~
You can define a custom function as a lualine component
>
local function hello()
return [[hello world]]
end
lualine.sections.lualine_a = { hello }
<
Using vim functions as lualine component~
You can use vim functions as a lualine component
>
lualine.sections.lualine_b = { 'FugitiveHead' }
<
Using variables as lualine component~
You can use variables from vim and lua globals as a lualine component
Variables from g:, v:, t:, w:, b:, o, go:, vo:, to:, wo:, bo: scopes
can be used. Scopes ending with o are options usualy accessed with `&` in vimscript
>
lualine.sections.lualine_b = { 'g:coc_status', 'bo:filetype' }
lualine.sections.lualine_x = { 'vim.bo.fileencoding' }

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOADING PLUGIN EXTENSIONS *lualine-loading_plugin_extensions*
Lualine extensions change statusline appearance for a window/buffer with
a plugin loaded e.g. junegunn/fzf.vim (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim)
By default no plugin extension are loaded to improve performance. If you are
using a plugin which is supported you can load it this way:
>
lualine.extensions = { 'fzf' }
<
All available extensions are listed in EXTENSIONS.md (./EXTENSIONS.md)
