powerline
Powerline provides an extensible statusline plugin for vim and prompt support for applications like bash, zsh, tmux, and window managers. Written in Python, it offers efficient performance via a daemon service and uses JSON for easy configuration creation. Focused on stability and testability, the project has transitioned to Python 3. Derivatives like vim-airline might be explored for lighter alternatives. Comprehensive documentation and pre-patched fonts are available for user guidance.
