Hmm, interesting...and thanks! These two plugins seem to use the statusline for the progress indicator. I thought of that, and abandoned the idea when I noticed that the status lines weren't being populated all the way during processing...but later investigation showed me that's because 'ruler' gets reset from one of the speed-up options set by the plugin (I don't remember which). At the time, I was still hoping to use :echon to output the progress indicator, which I also had to abandon. My eventual goal is to use the full screen width (or pretty close to it) for the progress bar. Is there a good way to get this for an individual status line? I didn't think so, whereas using an ":echo" type command, &columns basically does the trick. I'll give it a shot using the status line (maybe making use of a plugin, but I'm hoping for eventual inclusion into the upstream, so maybe just pulling code from them). Hopefully it will be more usable. For me, the screen flashes quite a bit *without* the progress indicator, so I'm not certain it will be, but perhaps the somewhat static status line will be more readable than a quickly flashing message at the bottom of the window. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
