A Vim statusline plugin that renders a better-looking, more functional statusline with fancy symbols and segment-based configuration. It is deprecated and superseded by the rewritten Python-based powerline/powerline project.

Use cases

• make my vim statusline look better
• show git branch and syntax errors in vim statusline
• add powerline symbols to vim statusline
• patch fonts with powerline glyphs
• customize vim statusline segments and colors

When to choose

• you are stuck on a legacy Vim setup and want the original vimscript statusline plugin
• you need the old fontpatcher or community patched fonts for powerline symbols

When to avoid

• starting a new configuration - use powerline/powerline or a modern statusline plugin instead
• you need new features or bug fixes - the plugin is in maintenance mode and no longer developed
• you want statuslines for tmux, zsh, or other applications - the successor supports those, this does not
