Feat: avoid splitting statusbar

[grimgort]

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way or an option to avoid that the statusbar is split in 2 pieces. With a split, it becomes unreadable. I would need one that does the whole screen all the time. Avoid: wanted :

It's not fixable by lualine . This is how neovim draws statusline . See https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/9342

You can use floatline.nvim as workarround for now. For example install floatline add the following after your lualine config. I've been using this config when I was testing out floatline but using floating window to show statusline has it's own set of issues that's why I don't plan on adding something similar in lualine . I'd just wait on support in core.

function _G.LualineStatusLine()
  local ok, stl = pcall(require('lualine').statusline)
  if not ok then
    vim.opt.stl = '%f%=%l,%v         %p%% '
    error(stl)
  end
  return stl
end

require('floatline').setup {
  status = function()
    return [=[%{%&stl == "%!v:lua.RStatusline()" ? luaeval("_G.LualineStatusLine()") : &stl%}]=]
  end,
}

vim.cmd [[
  hi RStatusActive guifg=#51a0cf
  hi RStatusInActive guifg=#266269
]]
_G.RStatusline = function()
  local stl_content = vim.fn.pathshorten(vim.fn.expand '%:~:.')
  local num_of_dash = vim.fn.winwidth(0) - vim.fn.strdisplaywidth(stl_content)
  stl_content = string.rep('_', num_of_dash / 2) .. stl_content .. string.rep('_', num_of_dash - num_of_dash / 2)
  if tonumber(vim.g.actual_curwin) == vim.fn.win_getid() then
    return '%#RStatusActive#' .. stl_content
  end
  return '%#RStatusInActive#' .. stl_content
end
vim.go.stl = '%!v:lua.RStatusline()'

Thank you!

For future readers: The global statusline feature had been merged on upstream one year ago: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/17266, which closed the aforementioned upstream issue https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/9342
