Demo
Features
- Define own custom statusline structure for active and inactive windows. This is done with a function which should return string appropriate for |statusline|. Its code should be similar to default one with structure:
- Compute string data for every section you want to be displayed.
- Combine them in groups with
MiniStatusline.combine_groups()
.
- Built-in active mode indicator with colors.
- Sections can hide information when window is too narrow (specific window width is configurable per section).
Dependencies
For full experience needs (still works without any of suggestions):
-
Nerd font and enabled 'mini.icons' module to show filetype icons. Can fall back to using nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons plugin.
-
Enabled 'mini.git' and 'mini.diff' modules to show Git and diff related information. Can fall back to using lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim plugin.
Installation
This plugin can be installed as part of 'mini.nvim' library (recommended) or as a standalone Git repository.
There are two branches to install from:
main
(default, recommended) will have latest development version of plugin. All changes since last stable release should be perceived as being in beta testing phase (meaning they already passed alpha-testing and are moderately settled).stable
will be updated only upon releases with code tested during public beta-testing phase inmain
branch.
Here are code snippets for some common installation methods (use only one):

to enable its functionality.
Note: if you are on Windows, there might be problems with too long file paths (like error: unable to create file <some file name>: Filename too long
). Try doing one of the following:
- Enable corresponding git global config value:
git config --system core.longpaths true
. Then try to reinstall. - Install plugin in other place with shorter path.
Default config
-- No need to copy this inside `setup()`. Will be used automatically.
{
-- Content of statusline as functions which return statusline string. See
-- `:h statusline` and code of default contents (used instead of `nil`).
content = {
-- Content for active window
active = nil,
-- Content for inactive window(s)
inactive = nil,
},
-- Whether to use icons by default
use_icons = true,
-- Whether to set Vim's settings for statusline (make it always shown)
set_vim_settings = true,
