[wish] different statusline format for noncurrent statusline

[Yakov Lerner]

We have separae highlighting,  StatusLineNC, for non-current.
I wish I had different *format*, too,  for noncurrent statusline. I do not
think differnt format for non-current statusline is supported.
Is it possible to put this request in todo. Thanks.

Perhaps an 'actual_curwin' like 'actual_curbuf'?

Found how to make it in current vim.
Sorry for the noise. Took me time to figure it, works fine.

let &statusline="Your favourite statusline"
let  g:Active_statusline=&g:statusline
let g:NCstatusline = "%<%F"    " non-current statusline
au WinEnter * let &l:statusline = g:Active_statusline
au WinLeave * let &l:statusline = g:NCstatusline

Wow! Hadn't realized it was global-local. :thumbsup:

Best regards,

Agreed, that's quite a nice tip.

I ended up using it to change the colors of the active vs inactive
statusline in my already fancy statusline settings:

" Colors of active statusline
hi User1 guifg=#66ff66 guibg=#008000 gui=bold term=standout
cterm=bold ctermfg=lightgreen ctermbg=lightgreen
hi User2 guifg=#ffff60 guibg=#008000 gui=bold term=none cterm=bold
ctermfg=yellow ctermbg=lightgreen

" Colors or inactive statusline
hi User3 guifg=#66ff66 guibg=#008000 gui=bold term=standout
cterm=bold ctermfg=lightgreen ctermbg=lightgreen
hi User4 guifg=#66ff66 guibg=#008000 gui=bold term=none cterm=bold
ctermfg=lightgreen ctermbg=lightgreen

" Function used to display syntax group.
function! SyntaxItem()
return synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),1),"name")
endfunction

" Function used to display utf-8 sequence.
function! ShowUtf8Sequence()
let p = getpos('.')
redir => utfseq
sil normal! g8
redir End
call setpos('.', p)
return substitute(matchstr(utfseq, '\x\+ .*\x'), '\<\x', '0x&', 'g')
endfunction

if has('statusline')
if version >= 700
" Fancy status line.

Yes. This change ( 'statusline' option can be local to a window) was
made in 7.0.

Different highlighting for non-active statusline is trivial due to
'hi StatusLineNC', as opposed to different contents/format of statusline.
But I've got to try out your statusline code. It's hideousest statusline I've seen.
