Firstly I wanted to say that I love this plug-in! Often, I find that just the statusline isn't enough space to communicate all that I'd like to see and winbar.nvim has been so helpful. That said I wanted to point out a possible improvement.
I've been working with nvim-dap-ui lately and winbar.nvim looks like this, by default:
I wondered why all of the icons were the same and, it turns out, nvim-dap-ui sets each buffer's filetype rather than file extension. winbar.nvim currently only considers the file extension when trying to grab an icon from nvim-web-devicons.
I made a slight tweak to winbar.nvim's source to allow that check
local winbar_file = function()
local file_path = vim.fn.expand('%:~:.:h')
local filename = vim.fn.expand('%:t')
local file_type = vim.fn.expand('%:e') -- Note, this is actually an extension, not a file type
+ if file_type == ""
+ then
+ file_type = vim.api.nvim_buf_get_option(0, "filetype")
+ end
and now it looks like this
It's a minor thing but it'd be cool if this got upstreamed along with an explicit call to webicon's get_icon_by_filetype API function. Either way I can always use my fork. Thanks for making this plug-in!
