Hide Incline when there is just one window about incline.nvim HOT 8 CLOSED

@akinsho I just want to clarify, because I know this has gotten a bit confusing, and I think my last comment probably is the source of a lot of it. There are actually a total of three options being discussed right now - focused_win, which already exists, and two more (I'll just make up names because they haven't been implemented yet): last_win and last_nonignored_win. The final two are the ones that I was saying I think should be two separate options, with the latter being the one I thought was more important if only one of them gets implemented. I completely agree that focused_win should be left as-is.

Just to chime in, I'm not currently using this plugin (though I am planning to give it a shot), but I can imagine situations where I wouldn't want it to be hidden every time a window is focused, only when there's only one window open. For example, when the top window of a horizontal split is focused, just looking at the bottom of that window is easier and more intuitive than looking all the way at the bottom of the screen, so I probably wouldn't want the status line hidden in that case. But if there's only one window open, the floating status line is going to be redundant, and the bottom of the window is where the main status line is anyway. So I still think it would be helpful for this to be an additional option.

Just jumping in regarding the two separate options. I'm currently using the plugin and really enjoying it with the current focused win option I'd much rather retain the current behaviour, i.e. the buffer I'm in should never have a label since my statusline will always show it. Trying not to muddy the waters but advocate for a different option that does what @pianocomposer321 proposed but also keeping the ability to have the plugin behave as it currently does.

That is a great point and I agree, @pianocomposer321. I’ll add this to the backlog.

Hmm...that is an interesting question.

TBH, I feel like this would be good as two separate options. Or an option with an "enum"-style value. But if you don't want to implement two separate options (or just one at a time), I think that it should be hidden when it's the last non-ignored window. The main issue with this would be if a window is ignored with incline but not for the main statusline (meaning that when it's focused you wouldn't be able to tell the name of the file in the non-ignored window), but leaving that up to the users to fix doesn't seem entirely unreasonable.

Of course, having two separate options still seems like the best approach to me.

  hide = {
    focused_win = true,
  },

should take care of single window, shouldn't it?

Yeah the option @gegoune mentioned should work. Give it a try and let me know if that’s what you’re looking for?

Does anyone have thoughts on how this proposed option should behave when there is more than one window, but only one non-ignored window?

For example, if you open the file foobar.lua in one window and nvim-tree in another window, and if you have ignore.buftypes = "special", then there would effectively be only one non-ignored window. If the proposed option was enabled, should Incline be shown or hidden on the foobar.lua window?
