You can also help with documentation in wiki PERFORMANCE COMPARED TO OTHER PLUGINS*lualine-performance-compared-to-other-plugins* Unlike other statusline plugins lualine loads only defined components, nothing else.

See `:h lua-vim-variables` and `:h lua-vim-options` if you are not sure what to use. > sections = {lualine_a = {'g:coc_status', 'bo:filetype'}} < LUA EXPRESSIONS AS LUALINE COMPONENT You can use any valid lua expression as a component including * oneliners * global variables * require statements > sections = {lualine_c = {"os.date('%a')", 'data', "require'lsp-status'.status()"}} < `data` is a global variable in this example. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ COMPONENT OPTIONS Component options can change the way a component behave. There are two kinds of options: * global options affecting all components * local options affecting specific Global options can be used as local options (can be applied to specific components) but you cannot use local options as global. Global option used locally overwrites the global, for example: > require'lualine'.setup { options = {lower = true}, sections = {lualine_a = {{'mode', lower = false}}, lualine_b = {'branch'}} } < `mode` will be displayed with `lower = false` and `branch` will be displayed with `lower = true` *lualine-Available-options* **Global options** > options = { icons_enabled = true, -- displays icons in alongside component padding = 1, -- adds padding to the left and right of components left_padding = 1, -- adds padding to the left of components right_padding =1, -- adds padding to the right of components upper = false, -- displays components in uppercase lower = false, -- displays components in lowercase format = nil -- format function, formats component's output } < **Local options** > sections = { lualine_a = { { 'mode', icon = nil, -- displays icon in front of the component separator = nil, -- Determines what separator to use for the component. -- when a string is given it's treated as component_separator. -- When a table is given it's treated as section_separator. -- This options can be used to set colored separators -- arround component.

The configuration for tabline sections is exactly the same as for statusline. > tabline = { lualine_a = {}, lualine_b = {'branch'}, lualine_c = {'filename'}, lualine_x = {}, lualine_y = {}, lualine_z = {} } < This will show branch and filename component in top of neovim inside tabline. You can also completely move your statuline to tabline by configuring `lualine.tabline` and disabling `lualine.sections` and `lualine.inactive_sections`. > tabline = { ...... }, sections = {}, inactive_sections = {}, < If you’re looking for bufferline or want to show tabs in tabline. There are manny awesome plugins that can do that. For example: - nvim-bufferline - tabline.nvim tabline.nvim even uses lualines theme by default 🙌 You can find a bigger list here ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EXTENSIONS Lualine extensions change statusline appearance for a window/buffer with specified filetypes. By default no extension are loaded to improve performance. You can load extensions with: > extensions = {'quickfix'} < **Available extensions** - chadtree - fugitive - fzf - nerdtree - nvim-tree - quickfix **Custom extensions** You can define your own extensions. If you think an extension might be useful for others then please submit a pr. > local my_extension = {sections = {lualine_a = 'mode'}, filetypes = {'lua'}} require'lualine'.setup {extensions = {my_extension}} < ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DISABLING LUALINE You can disable lualine for specific filetypes > options = {disabled_filetypes = {'lua'}} < Generated by panvimdoc vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:
