Rulerfile example

[awopbopaloobopalopbamboom]

Here's an example of the relatively new ruler file. It's mostly inspired by the status line in vim/neovim with popular plugin like lualine or lightline. It will reuse colors from your terminal theme. Don't forget to uncomment or blank string your rulerfmt in your lfrc config. It doesn't display permissions but it's easy to bring it back and it adds nerd font icons for copy, cut, filter, select and progress actions.

{{$color := 44 -}}
{{if eq .Mode "VISUAL" -}}
  {{$color = 46 -}}
{{end -}}
{{printf "\033[30;%dm %s \033[0m" $color .Mode}}

{{with .Message -}}
    {{. -}}
{{else with .Stat -}}
    {{.Size | humanize | printf "\033[34;40m %5s" -}}
    {{.ModTime | printf " \033[37;40m %s \033[0m" -}}
    {{with .Target}} -> {{.}}{{end -}}
{{end -}}

{{.SPACER -}}

{{with .Keys}}  {{.}} {{end -}}
{{with .Progress}}  {{join . " " | printf " 󰪹 %s"}}{{end -}}
{{with .Copy}}  {{len . | printf "%s %d 󰆏  \033[0m" $.Options.copyfmt}}{{end -}}
{{with .Cut}}  {{len . | printf "%s %d 󰆐  \033[0m" $.Options.cutfmt}}{{end -}}
{{with .Select}}  {{len . | printf "%s %d 󰒉  \033[0m" $.Options.selectfmt}}{{end -}}
{{with .Visual}}  {{len . | printf "%s %d \033[0m" $.Options.visualfmt}}{{end -}}
{{with .Filter}}  {{join . " " | printf "\033[7;34m 󰈲 %s \033[0m"}}{{end -}}

{{.ScrollPercentage | printf "\033[34;40m %s " -}}
{{printf "\033[7;34m %d/%d " .Index .Total}}

for people who preferred the old format

set rulerfmt "%a |󰪹 %p |\033[7;31m 󰆐 %m \033[0m|\033[7;33m 󰆏 %c \033[0m|\033[7;35m 󰒉 %s \033[0m|\033[7;34m 󰈲 %f \033[0m|\033[34;40m %P \033[7;34m %i/%t "

set statfmt "\033[30;44m %M |\033[34;40m %S \033[37;40m %t "

And many thanks for the most flexible terminal file manager out there!

Looks good!
Feel free to add it to https://github.com/gokcehan/lf/wiki/Ruler (including the screenshot) if you want. I wanted to add more examples to the wiki anyway to make it easier for users.

I'm still trying to get a more faithful "port" of that lualine/airline.

Basically:
mode | filename | spacer | keys pressed | cut/copy/select etc | size | ModTime | scroll percentage | index/total

But yeah I'll add it soon to the ruler wiki.

Ruler's wiki updated with screenshots and code.

It's more faithful to the default lualine/airline, probably a little bit too crowded but it's easy to remove unwanted data fields.

Thank you! I can see you put time and effort into it.

I added a Vim classic style to counter that :D
