# lualine.nvim ![code size](https://img.shields.io/github/languages/code-size/hoob3rt/lualine.nvim?style=flat-square) ![license](https://img.shields.io/github/license/hoob3rt/lualine.nvim?style=flat-square) A fast and easy to configure statusline plugin for neovim `lualine.nvim` requires neovim 0.5 This is a fork of [hoob3rt/lualine.nvim](https://github.com/hoob3rt/lualine.nvim). If you're switching from there please checkout [BREAKING_CHANGES.md](./BREAKING_CHANGES.md) to see what you may have to change in your config. ## Contributing Feel free to create an issue/pr if you want to see anything else implemented. If you have some question or need help with configuration start a [discussion](https://github.com/shadmansaleh/lualine.nvim/discussions). Please read [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md) before opening a pr. You can also help with documentation in [wiki](https://github.com/shadmansaleh/lualine.nvim/wiki) ## Screenshots Here is a preview of how lualine can look like.

Screenshots of all available themes are listed in [THEMES.md](./THEMES.md) For those who want to break the norms. You can create custom looks in lualine. **Example** : - [evil_lualine](examples/evil_lualine.lua) - [bubbles](examples/bubbles.lua) ## Performance compared to other plugins Unlike other statusline plugins lualine loads only defined components, nothing else. Startup time performance measured with an amazing plugin [dstein64/vim-startuptime](https://github.com/dstein64/vim-startuptime) All times are measured with clean `init.vim` with only `vim-startuptime`, `vim-plug` and given statusline plugin installed. In controle just `vim-startuptime` and`vim-plug` is installed. And mesured time is complete startuptime of vim not time spent on specific plugin. | control | lualine | lightline | airline | | :--------: | :-------: | :-------: | :-------: | | 8.943 ms | 10.140 ms | 12.522 ms | 38.850 ms | Last Updated On: 20-09-2021 ## Installation ### [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug) ```vim Plug 'hoob3rt/lualine.nvim' " If you want to have icons in your statusline choose one of these Plug 'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons' ``` ### [packer.nvim](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim) ```lua use { 'hoob3rt/lualine.nvim', requires = {'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons', opt = true} } ``` You'll also have need to have a patched font if you want icons. ## 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.
Default config ```lua require'lualine'.setup { options = { icons_enabled = true, theme = 'auto', component_separators = { left = '', right = ''}, section_separators = { left = '', right = ''}, disabled_filetypes = {} }, sections = { lualine_a = {'mode'}, lualine_b = {'branch', 'diff', {'diagnostics', sources={'nvim_lsp', 'coc'}}}, lualine_c = {'filename'}, lualine_x = {'encoding', 'fileformat', 'filetype'}, lualine_y = {'progress'}, lualine_z = {'location'} }, inactive_sections = { lualine_a = {}, lualine_b = {}, lualine_c = {'filename'}, lualine_x = {'location'}, lualine_y = {}, lualine_z = {} }, tabline = {}, extensions = {} } ```
If you want to get your current lualine config. you can do so with ```lua require'lualine'.get_config() ``` --- ### Starting lualine ```lua require('lualine').setup() ``` --- ### Setting a theme ```lua options = {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).
Customizing themes ```lua local custom_gruvbox = require'lualine.themes.gruvbox' -- Change the background of lualine_c section for normal mode custom_gruvbox.normal.c.bg = '#112233' -- rgb colors are supported require'lualine'.setup{ options = { theme = custom_gruvbox }, ... } ``` Theme structure is available [here](https://github.com/hoob3rt/lualine.nvim/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#adding-a-theme)
--- ### Separators Lualine defines two kinds of separators: * `section_separators` - separators between sections * `components_separators` - separators between components in sections ```lua options = { section_separators = { left = '', right = ''}, component_separators = { left = '', right = ''} } ``` Here left means it'll be used for left sections (a, b, c) and right means it'll be used for right sections (x, y, z).
Disabling separators ```lua options = {section_separators = '', component_separators = ''} ```
--- ### Changing components in lualine sections ```lua sections = {lualine_a = {'mode'}} ```
Available components * `branch` (git branch) * `buffers` (shows currently available buffers) * `diagnostics` (diagnostics count from your prefered source) * `diff` (git diff status) * `encoding` (file encoding) * `fileformat` (file format) * `filename` * `filesize` * `filetype` * `hostname` * `location` (location in file in line:column format) * `mode` (vim mode) * `progress` (%progress in file) * `tabs` (shows currently available tabs)
#### Custom components ##### Lua functions as lualine component ```lua local function hello() return [[hello world]] end sections = {lualine_a = {hello}} ``` ##### Vim functions as lualine component ```lua sections = {lualine_a = {'FugitiveHead'}} ``` #### Vim's statusline items as lualine component ```lua sections = {lualine_c = {'%=', '%t%m', '%3p'}} ``` ##### Vim variables as lualine component Variables from `g:`, `v:`, `t:`, `w:`, `b:`, `o`, `go:`, `vo:`, `to:`, `wo:`, `bo:` scopes can be used. See `:h lua-vim-variables` and `:h lua-vim-options` if you are not sure what to use. ```lua 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 ```lua 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: ```lua require'lualine'.setup { options = {fmt = string.lower}, sections = {lualine_a = { {'mode', fmt = function(str) return str:sub(1,1) end}}, lualine_b = {'branch'}} } ``` `mode` will be formatted with the passed fa=unction so only first char will be shown . On the other hand branch will be formatted with global formatter `string.lower` so it will be showed in lower case. #### Available options
Global options ```lua options = { icons_enabled = true, -- displays icons in alongside component padding = 1, -- adds padding to the left and right of components -- padding can be specified to left or right separately like -- padding = { left = left_padding, right = right_padding } fmt = nil -- fmt function, formats component's output } ```
Local options ```lua 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. Option need to be set like -- `separator = { left = '', right = ''}`. -- Where left will be placed in left side of component -- and right will be placed in right side of component -- Passing empty string disables that separator cond = nil, -- condition function, component is loaded when function returns true -- custom color for component in format -- color = {fg = '#rrggbb', bg= '#rrggbb', gui='style'} -- or highlight group -- color = "WarningMsg" color = nil, -- Type option specifies what type a component is. -- When type is omitted lualine will guess it. -- Available types [format: type_name(example)] -- mod(branch/filename), stl(%f/%m), var(g:coc_status/bo:modifiable), -- luae(lua expressions), vimf(viml function name) -- luae is short for lua-expression and vimf is short fror vim-function type = nil, } } } ```
Component specific local options #### buffers component options ```lua sections = { lualine_a = { { 'buffers', show_filename_only = true, -- shows shortened relative path when false show_modified_status = true -- shows indicator then bufder is modified max_length = vim.o.columns * 2 / 3, -- maximum width of buffers component filetype_names = { TelescopePrompt = 'Telescope', dashboard = 'Dashboard', packer = 'Packer', fzf = 'FZF', }, -- shows specific buffer name for that filetype ( { `filetype` = `buffer_name`, ... } ) buffers_color = { active = nil, -- color for active buffer inactive = nil, -- color for inactive buffer }, } } } ``` #### diagnostics component options ```lua sections = { lualine_a = { { 'diagnostics', -- table of diagnostic sources, available sources: -- 'nvim_lsp', 'nvim', 'coc', 'ale', 'vim_lsp' -- Or a function that returns a table like -- {error=error_cnt, warn=warn_cnt, info=info_cnt, hint=hint_cnt} sources = {}, -- displays diagnostics from defined severity sections = {'error', 'warn', 'info', 'hint'}, -- all colors are in format #rrggbb diagnostics_color = { error = nil, -- changes diagnostic's error foreground color warn = nil, -- changes diagnostic's warn foreground color info = nil, -- Changes diagnostic's info foreground color hint = nil, -- Changes diagnostic's hint foreground color } symbols = {error = 'E', warn = 'W', info = 'I', hint = 'H'} update_in_insert = false, -- Update diagnostics in insert mode } } } ``` #### filename component options ```lua sections = { lualine_a = { { 'filename', file_status = true, -- displays file status (readonly status, modified status) path = 0, -- 0 = just filename, 1 = relative path, 2 = absolute path shorting_target = 40 -- Shortens path to leave 40 space in the window -- for other components. Terrible name any suggestions? } } } ``` #### filetype component options ```lua sections = { lualine_a = { { 'filetype', colored = true, -- displays filetype icon in color if set to `true icon_only = false -- Display only icon for filetype } } } ``` #### diff component options ```lua sections = { lualine_a = { { 'diff', colored = true, -- displays diff status in color if set to true -- all colors are in format #rrggbb diff_color = { added = nil, -- changes diff's added foreground color modified = nil, -- changes diff's modified foreground color removed = nil, -- changes diff's removed foreground color } symbols = {added = '+', modified = '~', removed = '-'} -- changes diff symbols source = nil, -- A function that works as a data source for diff. -- it must return a table like -- {added = add_count, modified = modified_count, removed = removed_count } -- Or nil on failure. Count <= 0 won't be displayed. } } } ``` #### tabs component options ```lua sections = { lualine_a = { { 'tabs', max_length = vim.o.columns / 3, -- maximum width of tabs component mode = 0, -- 0 shows tab_nr -- 1 shows tab_name -- 2 shows tab_nr + tab_name tabs_color = { active = nil, -- color for active tab inactive = nil, -- color for inactive tab }, } } } ```
--- ### Tabline You can use lualine to display components in tabline. The configuration for tabline sections is exactly the same as for statusline. ```lua 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 . lualine also provides 2 components buffers & tabs that you can use to get more traditional tabline/bufferline. ```lua tabline = { lualine_a = {'buffers'}, lualine_b = {'branch'}, lualine_c = {'filename'}, lualine_x = {}, lualine_y = {}, lualine_z = {'tabs'} } ``` You can also completely move your statusline to tabline by configuring `lualine.tabline` and disabling `lualine.sections` and `lualine.inactive_sections`. ```lua tabline = { ...... }, sections = {}, inactive_sections = {}, ``` If you want a more sophisticated tabline you can use other tabline plugins with lualine too . For example: - [nvim-bufferline](https://github.com/akinsho/nvim-bufferline.lua) - [tabline.nvim](https://github.com/kdheepak/tabline.nvim) tabline.nvim even uses lualines theme by default 🙌 You can find a bigger list [here](https://github.com/rockerBOO/awesome-neovim#tabline) --- ### Extensions Lualine extensions change statusline appearance for a window/buffer with specified filetypes. By default no extensions are loaded to improve performance. You can load extensions with: ```lua extensions = {'quickfix'} ```
Available extensions * chadtree * fugitive * fzf * nerdtree * nvim-tree * quickfix * toggleterm
Custom extensions You can define your own extensions. If you think an extension might be useful for others then please submit a pr. ```lua local my_extension = {sections = {lualine_a = 'mode'}, filetypes = {'lua'}} require'lualine'.setup {extensions = {my_extension}} ```
--- ### Disabling lualine You can disable lualine for specific filetypes ```lua options = {disabled_filetypes = {'lua'}} ```
