Utilities for better Evil support for Powerline.

Installation

(require 'powerline-evil)

Faces

There are custom faces for each evil mode in the format powerline-evil-<state>-face. The appropriate value is returned by powerline-evil-face based on the current state, so once these faces are configured you can use that function in your theme to apply the correct face.

Functions

The following helper functions for building powerline themes are provided by this package:

• powerline-evil-face: Returns the appropriate face for the current evil state as described in the Faces section.
• powerline-evil-tag: Returns the tag for the current evil state. See Options for details about configuring the tag style.

Themes

The package provides the following three themes:

• powerline-evil-center-color-theme: This is the same as the powerline-center-evil-theme that comes with Powerline, except the evil state section is color coded.
• powerline-evil-vim-theme: This is the same as the powerline-vim-theme that comes with Powerline, except with the evil state added to the beginning of the line.
• powerline-evil-vim-color-theme: This is the same as the powerline-evil-vim-theme above, except the evil state section is color coded.

Options

The only configuration option (apart from the face customization) is powerline-evil-tag-style which is used to modify the behavior of powerline-evil-tag. It has 3 possible values:

• standard: It will simply return the current value of evil-mode-line-tag as it is provided by the evil package.
• verbose: It will return the name of the evil state in upper case. For the visual state if evil-visual-selection is block or line it will add those labels to the tag as well.
• visual-expanded: For all but the visual state this is the same as standard. For visual state if evil-visual-selection is block it will replace the angle brackets around the "V" with "+". If it is line it will replace the brackets with "-".
