Neovim statusbar

[ShiinaScripts]

Hi again !

Trying to start using neovim as text editor and it seems I've run into an issue.

I have copied your nvim config folder and sourced the statusline.vim, as far as I can see that already has lightline disabled so I'm not sure what it is.

Thanks once again ❤️

Hmm, what terminal are you using? And is this neovim inside tmux?
It looks like the colorscheme is not loading properly.

[ShiinaScripts]

I've tried konsole, gnome terminal and kitty, all of them have the same issue. I'm not using tmux either

And ya something with the colourscheme seems off

[elenapan]

Are you by any chance using the goyo plugin?

This happens to me whenever I exit goyo mode.
Probably related to this issue: junegunn/goyo.vim#160

In order to fix it I have to source statusline.vim again with
:source ~/.config/nvim/statusline.vim.

Edit: This should do it automatically:

function! s:goyo_leave()
  source ~/.config/nvim/statusline.vim
endfunction

augroup goyo_statusline_fix
    autocmd!
    autocmd! User GoyoLeave nested call <SID>goyo_leave()
augroup end

[ShiinaScripts]

You're correct as always, sourcing it again fixes it!

I'm assuming I have to put the fix into init.vim ?

[elenapan]

I fixed the snippet above, now it works.

Yes.

[ShiinaScripts]

Even before you fixed the snippet it actually worked!

Thank you Elena :-)

I am having the same issue with my setup but I don't have goyo plugin installed. By putting in the source ~/.config/nvim/statusline.vim line at the bottom of my init.vim, it was able to turn from basic vim statusline to yours but with the white blanks. I am using kitty but I have tried tmux and termite as well with the same results. Any thoughts?

P.S. I am not exactly sure if it's good Github etiquette to post on a similar but closed issue so let me know if I should open a new one.

[elenapan]

Do you have set termguicolors in your config? If so, check out issue #85.

[sunnyguan]

I don't have that in either init.vim or statusline.vim.

[elenapan]

Could you try this and let me know if the statusline looks fine or not?

echo 'source ~/.config/nvim/statusline.vim' > /tmp/minimal-config.vim
nvim -u /tmp/minimal-config.vim

[sunnyguan]

Yep that's working fine, do you know how I can use that in init as well?

[sunnyguan]

I commented out "colorscheme lena" and it worked (but with the default color scheme instead). Any thoughts on why?

Update: I removed hi! clear from lena.vim in the colors folder and it's working fine now.

[elenapan]

It could be (?) that the colorscheme command is called asynchronously. Looks like even if it is used before loading the statusline, it can actually execute after it.

Weirdly enough, it does not happen with my current config, but I could reproduce this with a minimal config.

Anyway, thank you for posting the solution.

I'm having a similar issue again, but I'm running windows 10 with WSL 1 Ubuntu 18.04

It might be related to colourscheme I'm not sure

I'm using windows terminal where the colour scheme definition is slightly different than xresources but I've tried my best

            "foreground": "#F8F8F2",
            "background": "#323F4E",
            "cursorColor": "#F8F8F2",
            "black": "#3D4C5F",
            "red": "#F48FB1",
            "green": "#A1EFD3",
            "yellow": "#F1FA8C",
            "blue": "#92B6F4",
            "purple": "#BD99FF",
            "cyan": "#87DFEB",
            "white": "#F8F8F2",
            "brightBlack": "#56687E",
            "brightRed": "#EE4F84",
            "brightGreen": "#53E2AE",
            "brightYellow": "#F1FF52",
            "brightBlue": "#6498EF",
            "brightPurple": "#985EFF",
            "brightCyan": "#24D1E7",
            "brightWhite": "#E5E5E5"

The colorscheme definition looks good to me.

• Does it look fine other terminals?
• Does it look fine if you do not use colorscheme lena inside your neovim config?

Sadly I cannot test with Windows terminal, so could you try this and let me know if it works?

set term=xterm
set t_Co=16

[ShiinaScripts]

I have a couple other terminals that I can try, but none of them seem to be able to display it properly. In the other terminals I have, hyper, and fluent terminal the mouse supports seems to be not working while in windows terminal it works fine. I'm not sure if the issue is just related to windows but maybe.

I'll try and get kitty running some time in the future.

set term=xterm was not a recognized command
set t_Co=16 didn't seem to do anything

Without the colorscheme lena it only changes the colours so I don't think that does anything to make the symbols appear

[elenapan]

I suspect that the Windows terminal does not render the black color correctly when it is used as a background color and displays the background color instead.

Looking at this screenshot of the dracula theme for Windows terminal (which has different colors for black and background), the same thing happens on the first line of the output.

Could you try putting this possible fix in your config? (From microsoft/terminal#832 (comment))

if (&term =~ '^xterm' && &t_Co == 256)
  set t_ut= | set ttyscroll=1
endif

Also let me know how it goes whenever you install kitty.

[ShiinaScripts]

I've put it into init.vim and now the corners are actually displaying correctly but not the middle

[ShiinaScripts]

An update on this, I never got kitty installed but I have tried alacritty and the same issue appears. I'm starting to think windows needs some more special treatment

[elenapan]

Indeed.

One possible solution could be to generate a true-color vim colorscheme and use that instead of lena.vim.

The only downside would be that if you change the colorscheme of your Windows terminal, the vim colorscheme will not follow, and will need to be regenerated in order to match.

If Windows terminal supports true-color, and you are OK with this solution, we could give it a shot.

This command can determine if the terminal supports true-color:

awk 'BEGIN{
    s="/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\"; s=s s s s s s s s;
    for (colnum = 0; colnum<77; colnum++) {
        r = 255-(colnum*255/76);
        g = (colnum*510/76);
        b = (colnum*255/76);
        if (g>255) g = 510-g;
        printf "\033[48;2;%d;%d;%dm", r,g,b;
        printf "\033[38;2;%d;%d;%dm", 255-r,255-g,255-b;
        printf "%s\033[0m", substr(s,colnum+1,1);
    }
    printf "\n";
}'

If it prints a smooth rainbow gradient like this, then it supports true color:

Let me know if you would like me to generate the colorscheme so we can try this.
