This is a modified version of a nice vim status line script created by Tomas Restrepo. The original can be seen here:

• http://winterdom.com/2007/06/vimstatusline

This version has small readability modifications. Main purposed of hosting it here is to make this script compatible with Pathogen plugin manager.

Here is how this status line will look in Gvim on Windows with the Solarized color scheme:

Information provided from left to right:

• Vim Mode (green box)
• Server name / session name (black box)
• File path
• File type (eg. python, ruby, etc..)
• File format (eg. unix, dos, etc..)
• File encoding (eg. utf8, latin1, etc..)
• Buffer number
• Current line, total number of lines (purple box)
• Percentage of file read
• Relative column number (from first character)
• Absolute column number (from start of line)
• Modified / Unmodified (blue box)

To install with Pathogen:

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/maciakl/vim-neatstatus.git

If your .vim is under source control with Git do this instead:

cd ~/.vim
git submodule add git://github.com/maciakl/vim-neatstatus.git bundle/vim-neatstatus
git submodule init
git submodule update

Installing without pathogen:

• Copy neatstatus.vim to ~/.vim/plugins directory
