Hi list. I found a strange behavior of fillchars and StatusLine. vim -u NONE --cmd 'set fillchars=stl:\ ,stlnc:\ ' --cmd 'vnew' I set both stl and stlnc space so that I don't see any ^ or = characters in the statusline. But when I set the following highlights, Vim draws the statusline of the current window with ^.
hi StatusLine ctermbg=8 ctermfg=7 cterm=NONE guibg=NONE guifg=NONE gui=NONE hi StatusLineNC ctermbg=8 ctermfg=7 cterm=NONE guibg=NONE guifg=NONE gui=NONE I set both spaces in fillchars so I expect them applied regardless of highlight configurations. Setting ctermfg=15 for StatusLine (I mean, make differences between the highlights), Vim respects the value of fillchars again. Apparently this behavior comes from https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/4c8980b717f73042f1d625ee255fa74eddb989ba/src/screen.c#L10535-L10540. When stl and stlnc are same and StatusLine and StatusLineNC are same, the fill characters falls back to the defaults. The help only mentions the case when there is highlighting or not. The current behavior is not intuitive to me. diff --git a/src/screen.c b/src/screen.c index ee61a01..17f72cd 100644 --- a/src/screen.c +++ b/src/screen.c @@ -10532,12 +10532,8 @@ fillchar_status(int *attr, int is_curwin) *attr = hl_attr(HLF_SNC); fill = fill_stlnc; } - /* Use fill when there is highlighting, and highlighting of current - * window differs, or the fillchars differ, or this is not the - * current window */ - if (*attr != 0 && ((hl_attr(HLF_S) != hl_attr(HLF_SNC) - || !is_curwin || ONE_WINDOW) - || (fill_stl != fill_stlnc))) + /* Use fill when there is highlighting. */ + if (*attr != 0) return fill; if (is_curwin) return '^'; What do you think?
