Hello everyone, This is my first post to vim_dev, so I'm not sure if this is exactly where to post, but it seemed to be a place to discuss it based on what I read from vim.org.
Anyways, my suggestion is to add a formatting option to the statusline that allows people to center text. The main concept would be adding both "%[" and "%]" as new options in the format string for the statusline. Everything within that section would be centered in the statusline. It should also play nicely with "%=". In other words, when you have something like: "abc%[def%=ghijkl%]mnop" as the statusline, in between "f" and "g" would be the center of the vim buffer. and there would be a number of spaces between "c" and "d", along with "l" and "m". I have written a patch for Neovim to add this feature already (https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/4489) but it is still very much under construction with several TODOs left for me to finish before I consider it truly functional. However, before cleaning up and finalizing any details of that functionality, I wanted to see if there was any interest for this in the Vim community as a whole, as I would prefer to be able to implement this in a way consistent with Vim in general.
