[vim/vim] Allow more alignment sections in statusline (Issue #11965)
C.D. MacEachern
The feature has existed in Neovim since mid-2016: neovim/neovim#4489
I want to be able to use more than one %= in &statusline, rather than just one. My stl is quite minimal and I really enjoy just having the buffer name centered in the stl. I don't know if there's functionally any purpose, just an aesthetic preference.
Describe the solution you'd like
Allow any number of %= in &statusline rather than one. So that: set stl=left%=centered%=right centers the 'centered' string.
Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

right-aligned. I think what you are asking for is for supporting two %=
items, which will be replaced by white space. What follows the second
%= will be right-aligned as before. The amount of white space is
computed so that the text between the two %= is centered.
This sounds useful. Perhaps someone wants to make a PR for this?
Supporting more than two %= does not appear to be useful. I would not
know how it can be useful.

I don't know how 3+ %= would be useful myself, I'd be happy with 2 :) I don't think I have enough knowledge to port what I need from the Neovim PR, so I'll leave this open so someone else could try.

I have created PR #11970 (https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/11970) to port
this functionality.
