Screenshot of paw

paw is a statusbar plugin for vis, the primary goal of which is to be prettier than the default statusbar while still being as functional. it was written over the span of 2 evenings, as a product of boredom and experimentation. it is, however, quite neat (or atleast i want to think so)!

configuration

paw allows customization of the mode styles and the modules displayed in the statusbar. the default configuration is as follows:

paw.config = {
 style_normal = 'fore:black,back:blue',
 style_visual = 'fore:black,back:yellow',
 style_insert = 'fore:black,back:green',
 style_replace = 'fore:black,back:magenta',
 separator_left = ' ',
 separator_right = ' « ',
 modules_left = {
 'mode',
 'file'
 },
 modules_right = {
 'flags',
 'syntax',
 'percent',
 'progress'
 }
}

the style_* keys are responsible for the styles of the mode strings (NORMAL, INSERT &c). the modules_* tables are responsible for the modules on the left-justified, and right-justified parts of the statusbar, respectively.

these options can be modified by the user in their vis configuration using the paw.setup function:

paw.setup({
 style_normal = 'fore:green,back:white',
 modules_right = { 'percent', 'syntax' }
})

you are welcome to tinker around with the source code or open an issue if you find any features that are missing!

todo

• inactive statusbar configuration if possible
• configuration of the mode strings
• compare default statusbar and paw's overhead
