⚡ zj-status-bar ⚡

An opinionated status bar plugin for zellij based on the built-in zellij's compact-bar plugin.

(mostly) no config, compact-bar experience + some goodies :)

Features

• Pane fullscreen indicator
• Tab indexes

Others

• No alternate tab colors
• Inactive tabs are rendered in italics
• Zellij string removed from the top-left corner

Note

The screenshots above are with simplified_ui enabled/disabled, this config option is part of the original compact-bar plugin and is still supported, other than that there's no configuration options.

Usage

Download the last release available at https://github.com/cristiand391/zj-status-bar/releases/ and load it from a layout. Example:

layout {
  pane size=1 {
    plugin location="file:/path/to/zj-status-bar.wasm"
  }
  pane
}

On the first load you need to navigate to the plugin pane and press y to accept the perms required for the plugin to work.

Note

If you start the plugin pane with borderless set to true you won't be able to view it and accept the perms. After accepting permissions you can disable borders again.
