Please read CONTRIBUTING.md before contributing.
You can check this out if you want to see what is currently being worked on.
Feel free to create an issue/pr if you want to see anything else implemented.
Screenshots
Here is a preview of how lualine can look like.
Screenshots of all available themes are listed in THEMES.md
For those who want to break the norms. You can create custom looks in lualine .
Example :
Performance compared to other plugins
Unlike other statusline plugins lualine loads only defined components, nothing else.
Startup time performance measured with an amazing plugin 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
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
use {
'hoob3rt/lualine.nvim',
requires = {'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons', opt = true}
}
Usage and customization
Lualine can be configured with both lua and vimscript. Click here if you want to see a config example in lua and here if you want to see a config example in vimscript.
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.
Starting lualine
All configurations happens in the setup function
require('lualine').setup{}
Setting a theme
options = {theme = 'gruvbox'}
All available themes are listed in THEMES.md
Please create a pr if you managed to port a popular theme before me, here is how to do it.
Tweaking themes
You like a theme but would like to tweek some colors. You can do that in your config easily.
Example:
local custom_gruvbox = require'lualine.themes.gruvbox'
-- Chnage 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 },
...
}
You can checkout structure of a lualine theme here
Changing separators
Lualine defines two kinds of seperators. One is for sections and other is for components. Default section seperators are '', '' and component separators are '', ''. They require powerline patched fonts. But you can easily change yours to something else like below
options = {
section_separators = {'', ''},
component_separators = {'', ''}
}
or disable it
options = {section_separators = '', component_separators = ''}
Changing components in lualine sections
Lualine defaults
sections = {
lualine_a = {'mode'},
lualine_b = {'branch'},
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 = {}
}
Available components
- branch (git branch)
- diagnostics (diagnostics count from your prefered source)
- encoding (file encoding)
- fileformat (file format)
- filename
- filetype
- hostname
- location (location in file in line:column format)
- mode (vim mode)
- progress (%progress in file)
- diff (git diff status)
Using custom functions as lualine component
You can define a custom function as a lualine component
local function hello()
return [[hello world]]
end
sections = {lualine_a = {hello}}
Using vim functions as lualine component
You can use vim functions as a lualine component
sections = {lualine_a = {'FugitiveHead'}}
Using variables as lualine component
You can use variables from vim 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
sections = {lualine_a = {'g:coc_status', 'bo:filetype'}}
Using lua expressions as lualine component
You can use any valid lua expression as a component . This allows global variables to be used as a component too. Even require statements can be used to access values returned by specific scripts. One liner functions can be inlined by utilizeing this .
For exmaple this will show day of the week. And 2nd one will display current value of global variable data.
sections = {lualine_c = {"os.data('%a')", 'data'}}
Options for components
Available options:
Options can change the way a component behave. There are two kinds of options some that work on every kind of component. Even the ones you create like custom function component . And some that only work on specific component. Detailed list of available options are given below.
Global options
These options are available for all components.
Option | Default | Behaviour | Supported components |
---|---|---|---|
icons_enabled | true | Displays icons on components You should have nerd-fonts supported fonts to see icons properly. | branch, fileformat, filetype, location, diagnostics |
icon | Differs for each component | Displays an icon in front of the component | All |
padding | 1 | Adds padding to the left and right of components | All |
left_padding | 1 | Adds padding to the left of components | All |
right_padding | 1 | Adds padding to the right of components | All |
separator | (component_separators) | which separator to use at end of component | all |
upper | false | Changes components to be uppercase | All |
lower | false | Changes components to be lowercase | All |
format | nil | Takes a function . The funtion gets the result of component as argument and it's return value is displayed. So this function can parse and format the output as user wants. | All |
condition | nil | Takes a function. The component is loaded if the function returns true otherwise not. It can be used to load some comoonents on specific cases. | All |
color | nil | Sets custom color for the component in this formatcolor = {fg = '#rrggbb', bg= '#rrggbb', gui='style'} The fields of color table are optional and default to theme Color option can also be a string containing highlight group name color = "WarningMsg" . One neat trick set the color to highlight group name then change that highlight with :hi command to change color of that component at runtime. |
All |
disabled_filetypes | {} | Disables lualine for specific filetypes | It works on entire statusline instead of on a single component |
Using global options
Global options can be set in two ways. One is as part of options table in setup.
require'lualine'.setup{
options = {
icons_enabled = true,
padding = 2,
}
}
When set this way these values work as default for all component. These defaults can be overwritten by setting option as part of component configuration like following.
lualine_a = {
-- Displays only first char of mode name
{'mode', format=function(mode_name) return mode_name:sub(1,1) end},
-- Disables icon for branch component
{'branch', icons_enabled=false},
},
lualine_c = {
-- Displays filename only when window is wider then 80
{'filename', condition=function() return vim.fn.winwidth(0) > 80 end},
}
Component specific options
In addition, some components have unique options.
diagnostics
component options
Option | Default | Behaviour | Format |
---|---|---|---|
sources | nil |
displays diagnostic count from defined source | array containing one or many string from set {'nvim_lsp', 'coc', 'ale', 'vim_lsp'} |
sections | {'error', 'warn', 'info'} |
displays diagnostics of defined severity | array containing one or many string from set {'error', 'warn', 'info'} |
color_error | DiffDelete foreground color |
changes diagnostic's error section foreground color | color in #rrggbb format |
color_warn | DiffText foreground color |
changes diagnostic's warn section foreground color | color in #rrggbb format |
color_info | Normal foreground color |
changes diagnostic's info section foreground color | color in #rrggbb format |
symbols | {error = ' ', warn = ' ', info = ' '} or {error = 'E:', warn = 'W:', info = 'I:'} |
changes diagnostic's info section foreground color | table containing one or more symbols for levels |
filename
component options
Option | Default | Behaviour |
---|---|---|
file_status | true | Displays file status (readonly status, modified status) |
path | 0 | filename path option: 0 = just filename, 1 = relative path, 2 = absolute path |
symbols | {modified = '[+]', readonly = '[-]'} |
changes status symbols |
filetype
component options
Option | Default | Behaviour |
---|---|---|
colored | true | Displays filetype icon in color if set to true |
diff
component options
Option | Default | Behaviour | Format |
---|---|---|---|
colored | true | displays diff status in color if set to true |
|
color_added | DiffAdd foreground color |
changes diff's added section foreground color | color in #rrggbb format |
color_modified | DiffChange foreground color |
changes diff's changed section foreground color | color in #rrggbb format |
color_removed | DiffDelete foreground color |
changes diff's removed section foreground color | color in #rrggbb format |
symbols | {added = '+', modified = '~', removed = '-'} |
changes diff's symbols | table containing one or more symbols |
Component specific options can only be set with component configs.
Component options example
sections = {
lualine_b = {
{'branch', icon = '', upper = true, color = {fg = '#00aa22'}}, {
'filename',
full_name = true,
shorten = true,
format = function(name)
-- Capitalize first charecter of filename to capital.
local path, fname = name:match('(.*/)(.*)')
if not path then
path = '';
fname = name
end
return path .. fname:sub(1, 1):upper() .. fname:sub(2, #fname)
end
}
}
}
Using tabline as statusline (statusline on top)
You can use lualine to display components in tabline. The sections, configurations and highlights are same as 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 instead of lualine.sections & lualine.inactive_sections and setting them to empty
tabline = {
......
},
sections = {},
inactive_sections = {},
Loading plugin extensions
Lualine extensions change statusline appearance for a window/buffer with a plugin loaded e.g. 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:
extensions = { 'fzf' }
Available extensions
- chadtree
- fugitive
- fzf
- nerdtree
- nvim-tree
- quickfix
