I'm a Vim user and I'm not a Vim developer. I collect some useful vim plugins in ~/.vim/and add some usable Vim commands in my ~/.vimrc. Now it seems like IDE as this pic.

I would like to add a full file path in the status bar but couldn't find in which place I can do it.

I know some short key like Ctrl-g.

How can I do that?

  • Are you using a plugin to manage your status line (e.g. vim-airline or powerline)? Feb 21 at 6:44
  • I don't know. I run find .vim/ -name '*air*' , only ale_linter return. Feb 21 at 6:53
  • Could you tell us what is the result of :set statusline?. Feb 21 at 6:58
  • thanks.statusline=%{lightline#link()}%#LightlineLeft_inactive_0#%( %t %)%#LightlineLeft_inactive_0_1# %#LightlineMiddle_inactive#%=%#LightlineRight_inactive_1_2# %#LightlineRight_inactive_1#%( %3p%% %)%#LightlineRight_inactive_0_1# %#LightlineRight_inactive_0#%( %3l:% -2c %) Feb 21 at 7:02

    I am not the down-voter, but I suspect that the downvote is for the following reason: your question does not provide enough information to get a good answer. It took some time in the comment to find out that you are using the lightline plugin, so answers customizing the statusline need to target that. You can edit to include this information, which probably should have been there to begin with. More generally, it's a good idea to include as much relevant information as possible up front.

To show the full path in the status line using lightline you can add the following line in your .vimrc file:

if !exists('g:lightline')
  let g:lightline = {}
endif
if !exists('g:lightline.component')
  let g:lightline.component = {}
endif
let g:lightline.component.filename='%F'

    If you don't include the propose changes what is the result of :echo g:lightline. I suspect you already have some lightline configuration that need to be merged. Feb 21 at 8:04
  • I only vim fan, I don't know about vim sysntax and ... Feb 21 at 8:11
