Usage

nougat.nvim is at your disposal to build exactly what you want.

lua
local nougat = require("nougat")

set_statusline

Signature: (bar: NougatBar | nougat_bar_selector, opts?: { filetype?: string }) -> nil

bar can be a NougatBar instance:

lua
local stl = Bar("statusline") nougat.set_statusline(stl)

Or a nougat_bar_selector function (ctx: nougat_core_expression_context) -> NougatBar.

lua
local stl = Bar("statusline") local stl_inactive = Bar("statusline") -- use separate statusline focused/unfocused window nougat.set_statusline(function(ctx) return ctx.is_focused and stl or stl_inactive end)

opts is a table with the shape { filetype?: string }.

If filetype is given, the bar will only be used for that filetype.

lua
local stl_fugitive = Bar("statusline") local stl_help = Bar("statusline") -- set filetype specific statusline for ft, stl_ft in pairs({ fugitive = stl_fugitive, help = stl_help, }) do nougat.set_statusline(stl_ft, { filetype = ft }) end

refresh_statusline

Signature: (force_all? boolean) -> nil

set_tabline

Signature: (bar: NougatBar | nougat_bar_selector) -> nil

bar can be a NougatBar instance or a nougat_bar_selector function.

refresh_tabline

Signature: () -> nil

set_winbar

Signature: (bar: NougatBar | nougat_bar_selector, opts?: { filetype: string }|{ global?: boolean }|{ winid: integer }) -> nil

bar can be a NougatBar instance or a nougat_bar_selector function.

opts is a table with one of the shapes { filetype: string } / { global?: boolean } / { winid: integer }.

If filetype is given, the bar will only be used for that filetype.

If global is true, the bar will be used for global 'winbar', otherwise the local 'winbar' is set whenever a new window is created.

If winid is present, the bar will be used for only that specific window.

refresh_winbar

Signature: (force_all?: boolean) -> nil
