                                                        *devicons-installation*
Installation ~

1. Install a Nerd Font compatible font [16] or patch your own [17]. Then set
   your terminal font (or 'guifont' if you are using GUI version of Vim).

2. Install the Vim plugin with your favorite plugin manager, e.g. vim-plug
   [18]:

   "vim Plug 'ryanoasis/vim-devicons'"

   Always load the vim-devicons as the very last one.

3. Configure Vim

   'vim set encoding=UTF-8'

   No need to set explicitly under Neovim: always uses UTF-8 as the default
   encoding.

See Installation [19] for detailed setup instructions

Use ':help devicons' for further configuration.

Usage ~

If you installed and setup things correctly you should now see icons in the
supported plugins!

**Notes on include order:** _for support of these plugins: NERDTree [1], vim-
airline [2], CtrlP [3], powerline [4], Denite [5], unite [6], vimfiler [9],
flagship [11] you **must** configure vim to load those plugins__before_ vim-
devicons loads. for better nerdtree-git-plugin [26] support, you _should_
configure vim to load nerdtree-git-plugin **_before_** VimDevIcons loads. * if
you are lazy loading Denite [5] using the Dein plugin manager, you will need to
source VimDevIcons before Denite loads.

Lightline Setup and Powerline Setup require some extra setup as shown below:

Lightline Setup ~

To add the appropriate icon to lightline [7], call the function
'WebDevIconsGetFileTypeSymbol()' and/or 'WebDevIconsGetFileFormatSymbol()' in
your '.vimrc'. For example, you could set your sections to:
>
  let g:lightline = {
        \ 'component_function': {
        \   'filetype': 'MyFiletype',
        \   'fileformat': 'MyFileformat',
        \ }
        \ }
  
  function! MyFiletype()
    return winwidth(0) > 70 ? (strlen(&filetype) ? &filetype . ' ' . WebDevIconsGetFileTypeSymbol() : 'no ft') : ''
  endfunction
  
  function! MyFileformat()
    return winwidth(0) > 70 ? (&fileformat . ' ' . WebDevIconsGetFileFormatSymbol()) : ''
  endfunction

- _Note this is for the current Powerline [4] not the deprecated vim-
  powerline [43]_

To enable for Powerline [4] some |vimrc| and powerline configuration changes
are needed:

|vimrc| changes (only required if you don't already have powerline setup for
vim):
>
  set rtp+=$HOME/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/powerline/bindings/vim/
  
  " Always show statusline
  set laststatus=2
  
  " Use 256 colours (Use this setting only if your terminal supports 256 colours)
  set t_Co=256

Detailed Features ~

- Adds filetype glyphs (icons) to various vim plugins, currently supports:

- NERDTree [1]

  - Using the version hosted on vimscripts [45] in favor of GitHub will
    lead to a outdated message, and icons will fail to show.

- vim-airline [2] (statusline and tabline)

- CtrlP [3]  (All modes now supported)

  - Using the version hosted on vimscripts [46] in favor of GitHub will
    lead to a outdated message, and icons will fail to show.

- powerline [4]  (statusline)

  - see: powerline setup

- Denite [5]

  - Currently supports 'file_rec', 'file_old', 'buffer', and
    'directory_rec'

- unite [6]

  - Currently supports 'file', 'file_rec', 'buffer', 'file_rec/async', and
    'file_rec/neovim'

- lightline.vim [7]  (statusline)

  - see: lightline setup

- vim-startify [8]

- vimfiler [9]

- flagship [11]

  - Support is **experimental** because the API may be changing [47]

- vim-workspace [10]

- Supports byte order marker (BOM)

- Customizable and extendable glyphs (icons) settings

                   *devicons-why-isnt-it-working-how-come-i-dont-see-any-icons*
Why isn't it working? How come I don't see any icons? ~

- Are you using the patched font provided in the separate repo (Nerd Fonts
  [13]) or are you patching your own?

- _NOTE:_ if running vim and no font set it will default to the terminal font
  that is set

- check what the vim/gvim font is set to, from ex mode:

  'vim :set guifont?'

- check if the plugin is loaded (should give '1'), from ex mode:

  'vim :echo loaded_webdevicons'

- check if the plugin is enabled (should give '1'), from ex mode:

  'vim :echo g:webdevicons_enable'

- check if the plugin is enabled for NERDTree (should give '1'), from ex
  mode:

  - this should _NOT_ need to be set under normal circumstances

  'vim :echo g:webdevicons_enable_nerdtree'

- check if you are able to see the characters, from ex mode:

  'vim :echo g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFileNodesDefaultSymbol'

- if all this looks correct you may try this to see if any files show flags

  - last resort, see if you can even set the default symbol and have it
    display anywhere (NERDTree, vim-airline's statusline, vim-airlines's
    tabline), from ex mode:

  "vim :let g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFileNodesDefaultSymbol='x'"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       *devicons-how-did-you-get-color-matching-based-on-file-type-in-nerdtree*
How did you get color matching based on file type in NERDtree? ~

- You can either use this additional plugin: vim-nerdtree-syntax-highlight
  [49] created by @tiagofumo [50]

- Or you can use my current settings from:
  https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree/issues/201#issuecomment-9954740

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       *devicons-how-did-you-get-color-matching-on-just-glyph-icon-in-nerdtree*
How did you get color matching on just the glyph/icon in NERDtree? ~

- You can add something like this to your |vimrc|

  ```vim " NERDTress File highlighting only the glyph/icon " test highlight
  just the glyph (icons) in nerdtree: autocmd filetype nerdtree highlight
  haskell_icon ctermbg=none ctermfg=Red guifg=#ffa500 autocmd filetype
  nerdtree highlight html_icon ctermbg=none ctermfg=Red guifg=#ffa500 autocmd
  filetype nerdtree highlight go_icon ctermbg=none ctermfg=Red guifg=#ffa500

  autocmd filetype nerdtree syn match haskell_icon ##
  containedin=NERDTreeFile " if you are using another syn highlight for a
  given line (e.g. " NERDTreeHighlightFile) need to give that name in the
  'containedin' for this " other highlight to work with it autocmd filetype
  nerdtree syn match html_icon ## containedin=NERDTreeFile,html autocmd
  filetype nerdtree syn match go_icon ## containedin=NERDTreeFile ```

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do I solve issues after re-sourcing my *vimrc*?

- Try adding this to the bottom of your |vimrc|

  'vim if exists("g:loaded_webdevicons") call webdevicons#refresh() endif'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              *devicons-why-do-i-have-artifacts-after-of-icons*
Why do I have artifacts after (or instead) of icons? ~

- Dots after icons in NERDTree (on GVim), try:

'vim autocmd FileType nerdtree setlocal nolist'

source: Issue #110 [51]

- Newly created files in NERDTree are slow to show the glyph (icon)
- check your current setting of ':updatetime?'
- try setting 'updatetime' in your |vimrc| to a lower value like '250', for
  more info see: Issue #153 [52]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                        *devicons-square-brackets-around-icons*
Square brackets around icons ~

- By default if your Vim supports conceal you should not see these, debug
  steps:

  - Check if the plugin feature is set (should be '1'):

  'vim echo g:webdevicons_conceal_nerdtree_brackets'

  - Check that your vim was compiled with the 'conceal' feature (should be
    '+conceal'):

  ```shell

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                       *devicons-from-terminal*
    from terminal ~

  vim --version | grep conceal ```

  - Check the 'conceallevel' (should be '3'):

  'vim set conceallevel?'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    *devicons-do-i-have-to-use-patched-font-such-as-nerd-fonts*
Do I have to use a patched font such as Nerd Fonts? ~

VimDevIcons was desired to work with Nerd Fonts [13], however you do _not_ have
to use a patched font or even Nerd Fonts specified glyphs. You have 2 main
options:

fontconfig fallback

1. Install the NERD Font symbol fonts:

2. Symbols Nerd Font:style=1000-em [53]

3. Symbols Nerd Font:style=2048-em [54]

4. Install 10-nerd-font-symbols.conf [55] for Fontconfig

5. for additional information see: Issue #124 [56] and [Nerd Fonts
   'fontconfig']

Use your own glyph codepoints

- specify your own glyphs and/or use your own font (see: Character Mappings
  [57])

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    *devicons-rationale-why-does-this-exist-how-did-this-start*
Rationale: Why does this exist? How did this start? ~

After seeing the awesome theme for Atom (seti-ui) and the awesome plugins work
done for NERDTree and vim-airline and wanting something like this for Vim I
decided to create my first plugin.
