Statusline is not activated while starting vim with the netrw buffer open
Closed this issue · 1 comments
See attached zip file. As I start Vim (using vim .) the statusline isn't active. As soon as I enter command line mode (or any other mode) the statusline activates.
Yes, that is a case that I missed. Now fixed.
Note, I coded moonfly-statusline specifically to never render a styled statusline for certain special windows, including file explorers (NERDTree, BufExplorer etc). netrw slipped through the cracks. Now it is handled in the same way as those other file explorers have been, aka use the default statusline.
That means there will be no mode indicators, as happens with NERDTree and BufExplorer in this plugin.
Why?
Rendering mode indicators for file explorers is not useful, and secondly, netrw specifically renders a custom statusline with certain indicators (e.g when copying files from a remote host) that are useful to users.
Thanks for letting me know.
