Feat: show shortened path in tabline when there’re two tabs with same name #883

Open GoldsteinE opened 1 year ago

Requested feature

When there’re two tabs with same filename, they’re indistinguishable. It’d be useful if (probably abbreviated) part of the path was shown before the filename in that case.

Motivation

That often happens with e.g. Rust’s mod.rs files. It’s already supported in tabline.nvim, but tabline.nvim doesn’t support being on the left side of tabline, so there’s currently no way to create a classical tabline with this feature.

show_modified_status (as in windows) would also be useful

You can use the fmt option to define any custom logic, e.g. iterate over tabs and construct the desired name. I haven't tried it, but I use fmt to extract a project name out of the full file path.

However, your proposal seems to be a good default behavior for the plugin.

It’s already supported for windows component tho (via show_filename_only = false), so duplicating logic in user config would be somewhat weird here.

Also fmt gets only tab name, so it’s impossible to distinguish between two tabs with same names.

It’s possible to achieve this by updating t:tabname tho: https://github.com/GoldsteinE/nixos/blob/1efbdc78560310c4e5d6bc1594539c73b83145ef/dotfiles/.config/nvim/lua/lualine_conf.lua#L3-L35
