Dubs Vim — Mescaline

Clean, vibrant Vim status line.

The Dubs Mescaline status line and Dubs After Dark color scheme.

About This Plugin

This plugin provides a simple, elegant status line:

Shows [Vim mode] > [Git branch] > [File name + flags] > [Cursor info]
Utilizes the awesome Powerline font to render a clean, vibrant status line.
- If you're looking for a great font that includes the Powerline glyphs, check out Hack, "a typeface designed for source code."
Single file plugin; easy to hack.
Inspired by other great plugins that just didn't cut it for me:

Powerline

vim-airline

lightline

Installation is easy using the packages feature (see :help packages).

To install the package so that it will automatically load on Vim startup, use a start directory, e.g.,

mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/landonb/start
cd ~/.vim/pack/landonb/start

If you want to test the package first, make it optional instead (see :help pack-add):

mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/landonb/opt
cd ~/.vim/pack/landonb/opt

Clone the project to the desired path:

git clone https://github.com/landonb/dubs_mescaline.git

If you installed to the optional path, tell Vim to load the package:

:packadd! dubs_mescaline

Just once, tell Vim to build the online help:

:Helptags

Then whenever you want to reference the help from Vim, run:

:help dubs-mescaline
