Continuously display the file name in vim

jal_capri · #1 03-19-2010

Hi All,

In vim, when we press ^G, the file name is displayed at the bottom of the screen and as soon as we enter into some other mode (say e.g. Insert), the file name is replaced by the words "Insert". I was just wondering whether it is possible to continuously show the file name no matter which mode we are in?

Thanks in advance.

Code:

set modeline
set ls=2

Add this in your vimrc , you will have the file name in the bottom .

Code:

set ls=2
