Introduction
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Powerline is a utility plugin which allows you to create better-looking,
|
||||
more functional vim statuslines. See the screenshots below for
|
||||
a demonstration of the plugin's capabilities.
|
||||
|
||||
It's recommended that you install the plugin using Pathogen_ or Vundle_.
|
||||
After the plugin is installed update your help tags and see ``:help
|
||||
Powerline`` for instructions on how to enable and configure the plugin.
|
||||
|
||||
See the `Troubleshooting`_ section below if you're having any issues with
|
||||
the plugin or the font patcher.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** You need a patched font to be able to use the symbols in the
|
||||
statusline. An experimental Python/fontforge-based font patcher is included
|
||||
in the ``fontpatcher`` directory. See ``fontpatcher/README.rst`` for usage
|
||||
instructions.

Troubleshooting
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
I can't see the fancy symbols, what's wrong?
|
||||
Make sure that you have ``let g:Powerline_symbols = 'fancy'`` in your
|
||||
``vimrc`` file. The settings may be loaded too late if you have this in
|
||||
``gvimrc``, so always put this in your ``vimrc``.
|
||||
|
||||
Clear the cache using ``:PowerlineClearCache`` and restart vim.
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure that you've configured gvim or your terminal emulator to use
|
||||
a patched font.
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure that vim is compiled with the ``--with-features=big`` flag.
|
||||
|
||||
The fancy symbols look a bit blurry or "off"!
|
||||
Make sure that you have patched all variants of your font (i.e. both the
|
||||
regular and the bold font files).
|
||||
|
||||
I'm unable to patch my font, what should I do?
|
||||
Font patching is only known to work on most Linux and OS X machines. If
|
||||
you have followed the instructions in the fontpatcher README and still
|
||||
have problems, please submit an issue on GitHub.
|
||||
|
||||
You can download some community-contributed patched fonts from the
|
||||
`Powerline wiki`_ if you don't want to mess around with the font
|
||||
patcher.
|
||||
|
||||
The Syntastic/Fugitive statusline flags don't work!
|
||||
These flags should work without any configuration. If you installed
|
||||
either plugin after Powerline, you'll have to clear the cache using
|
||||
``:PowerlineClearCache`` and restart vim.
|
||||
|
||||
The colors are weird in the default OS X Terminal app!
|
||||
The default OS X Terminal app is known to have some issues with the
|
||||
Powerline colors. Please use another terminal emulator. iTerm2 should
|
||||
work fine.
|
||||
|
||||
The arrows may have the wrong colors if you have changed the "minimum
|
||||
contrast" slider in the color tab of your OS X settings.
|
||||
|
||||
The statusline has strange characters like ``^B`` in it!
|
||||
Please add ``set encoding=utf-8`` to your ``vimrc``.
|
||||
|
||||
You may also need to set your ``LANG`` and ``LC_*`` environment
|
||||
variables to a UTF-8 locale (e.g. ``LANG=en_US.utf8``). Consult your
|
||||
Linux distro's documentation for information about setting these
|
||||
variables correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
The statusline has a lot of ``^`` or underline characters in it!
|
||||
You need to configure the ``fillchars`` setting to disable statusline
|
||||
fillchars (see ``:h fillchars`` for details). Add this to your
|
||||
``vimrc`` to solve this issue::
|
||||
|
||||
set fillchars+=stl:\ ,stlnc:\
|
||||
|
||||
The statusline is hidden/only appears in split windows!
|
||||
Make sure that you have ``set laststatus=2`` in your ``vimrc``.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm using tmux and Powerline looks like crap, what's wrong?
|
||||
You need to tell tmux that it has 256-color capabilities. Add this to
|
||||
your ``.tmux.conf`` to solve this issue::
|
||||
|
||||
set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"
|
||||
|
||||
If you use iTerm2, make sure that you have enabled the setting 'Set
|
||||
locale variables automatically' in Profiles > Terminal > Environment.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have any other issues and you can't find the answer in the docs,
|
||||
please submit an issue on GitHub.
