Stop shifting elements when the width changes. about feline.nvim HOT 7 CLOSED

The issue with that is that there's no maximum value for line and column numbers. However, I did fix the issue in the latest commit. The problem is it assumes line numbers to have no more than 3 digits and column numbers to have no more than two digits.

Either way, I fixed the issue. Check if it works for you now so that I may close this. Unless you have a better solution for the line / column number size problem.

Awesome thanks.

Yes, you are right, that can be a problem when opening huge files.

Unless you have a better solution for the line / column number size problem.

I'll look into that. I think that first checking how many characters are returned from vim.fn.line('.') and vim.fn.col('.')) and then setting the width in base of that could be an option.

For now this can be closed.

The line number and column number are constantly changing though, so setting the width based on that means the statusline would constantly change as well, bringing us back to where we started

Also I worded this wrong, the providers would still work fine for numbers larger than that, but, it'd move its contents like how it used to before

oh yes you're absolutely right.

What you think about first getting the total amount of lines of the file and then setting the width? I think that for the edge cases where for example opening a file with a compressed line of code with hundreds of columns shouldn't be something to worry about. As you said it would still work, just shifting the elements once again.

The other problem with first getting the total amount of lines is that in case of opening a huge file, then the width is going to be really big even when being in the first lines of the file, making it look weird.

But once again those are more of edge cases, maybe setting a max width. So in case of opening a big file, the elements will have a fixed wdith until a certain numbers of characters, after that it will just shift the components like before.

Hey I've been testing opening big files and honestly it's perfectly fine now. The annoying part was having the statusline shift on almost every line I moved.

But now with the fixed width it only shifts when it reaches the maximum amount of characters that have been set . And this only happens every... I don't know the exact number but the point is that I have to move a lot through the file to have the statusline shift. And once again the annoying part was when it was happening every second, that was what made it so noticeable for me and annoying at moments. But hey, if it only happens every now and then, I have no problem with that.

Yes that makes sense. Glad it works then.
