run autocmd on dashboard?

[prankousky]

Hi,

I just installed dashboard-vim to replace Startify (or to see whether it can do that, because I just realized how much I rely on startify now that it is gone :D). I have not made up my mind yet, but it does seem really awesome; I just kinda miss seeing the recently edited files and opening them by number, but perhaps I can change my workflow. Anyway, that is not what this is about.

Actual Question

Is it possible to run autocmnds on the dashboard? I use Yggdroot/indentline, which is configured to display tabs. This makes the dashboard look ugly, as there are "random" vertical lines where there should be noting at all. While I can manually run IndentLineToggle, I'd prefer to automatically run this when dashboard-vim is started (and ideally when it's closed again so I got my indentation visible in regular text files again).

I tried :echo @% to determine what the buffer is titled (will usually return something like /home/me/.config/nvim/init.vim), but it will return nothing / empty string for the dashboard when opening vim.

Btw., I just tested, and the very same happens when running :Startify, so this doesn't seem to be a bug per se, but it'd still be nice if there was a way to fix this.

Thank you for your help :)
