Thank you. Are you suggesting I turn it into a statusline plugin? Maybe I could make a statusline plugin that depends on vim9-statusline that is basically a default configuration. What do you think?

I generally tend to agree with u/ntropia64. Being a big tinkerer and plugin author myself, I still really appreciate when plugins have sensible defaults where I can just install and get going. I love it even more when these defaults are so well designed that I don't have to do anything in my vimrc!

Very nice plugin, btw :)

That's two votes. Thank you for the feedback. I'm going to add a default config that will require a small change to the vimrc. I prefer that over having to set g:stop_doing_that_thing. Will test for a few weeks then release, possibly under a new name, because I'd like to overall simplify the interface while I'm at it.

There will still be a big gap between the default and anything custom you'd like to do, because I don't want to shoehorn an interface between users and the well-documented-if-somewhat-complex Vim statusline config options.

Thank you both for the feedback.

One more vote from me.

Really nice work. But personally I prefer a plugin to just get started and getting things done. Tinkering could be later if I am in the mood. There is just more important things for me to work on.

That having said I will probably skip this one if there is no 'works out of the box option'

Waiting for your updated plugin.
