WezTerm Status

This project provides a configurable status bar for WezTerm, a GPU-accelerated terminal emulator. It includes various features like battery status, current mode, hostname, current working directory, and date/time, all displayed in a customizable status bar.

Features

• Mode Indicator: Shows the current mode (normal, copy, search) with icons.
• Battery Status: Displays the battery level with appropriate icons.
• Hostname: Displays the hostname of the current machine.
• Current Working Directory: Shows the current working directory.
• Date/Time: Displays the current date and time in a customizable format.

Installation

local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
local config = wezterm.config_builder()

wezterm.plugin
  .require('https://github.com/yriveiro/wezterm-status')
  .apply_to_config(config)

Setup

Customize the plugin with the apply_to_config method's second argument:

wezterm.plugin
  .require('https://github.com/yriveiro/wezterm-status')
  .apply_to_config(config, {
    cells = {
      battery = { enabled = false },
      date = { format = '%H:%M' }
    }
  })

Available configurations

UI Section

Controls visual elements and separators.

Separators

ui.separators = {
  -- Powerline-style arrows
  arrow_solid_left = '\u{e0b0}',
  arrow_solid_right = '\u{e0b2}',
  arrow_thin_left = '\u{e0b1}',
  arrow_thin_right = '\u{e0b3}',
}

Cells Section

Mode Indicator

cells.mode = {
  -- Enable mode display
  enabled = true,
  -- Map modes to icons
  modes = {
    normal = ' ' .. wezterm.nerdfonts.cod_home,
    copy_mode = ' ' .. wezterm.nerdfonts.cod_copy,
    search_mode = ' ' .. wezterm.nerdfonts.cod_search,
  }
}

Battery Indicator

cells.battery = {
  -- Enable battery status
  enabled = true
}

Shows dynamic icons based on charge level:

• Empty: ≤ 25%
• Quarter: ≤ 50%
• Three Quarters: ≤ 75%
• Full: > 75%

Hostname Display

cells.hostname = {
  -- Enable hostname
  enabled = true
}

Current Working Directory

cells.cwd = {
  -- Enable CWD display
  enabled = true,
  -- Replace $HOME with ~
  tilde_prefix = true,
  -- Path aliases for shortening
  path_aliases = {
    -- Replace long development path with an icon
    { pattern = "/home/user/development", replacement = "🛠️" },
    -- Use git icon for repositories
    { pattern = "/home/user/repos", replacement = "" },
    -- Docker projects
    { pattern = "/home/user/docker", replacement = "🐳" },
    -- Kubernetes configuration
    { pattern = "/home/user/.kube", replacement = "☸️" }
  }
}

The status bar supports path aliases to create more compact and readable directory paths. This feature is particularly useful for frequently accessed directories or deep nested paths.

With this configuration path will be aliased to

/home/user/development/project → 🛠️/project
/home/user/repos/my-app → /my-app
/home/user/docker/compose → 🐳/compose

This feature helps maintain a clean status bar while preserving path context through meaningful icons or abbreviations.

Wezterm Workspace

cells.workspace = {
  -- Enable Wezterm Workspace
  enabled = true,
  -- Clock icon
  icon = wezterm.nerdfonts.md_television_guide,
}

Date/Time Display

cells.date = {
  -- Enable timestamp
  enabled = true,
  -- Clock icon
  icon = wezterm.nerdfonts.md_clock_time_three_outline,
  -- Time format (strftime)
  format = '%H:%M:%S'
}

Kubernetes Current Context

The component will try to guess the path but the process is prone to error, if the current logic doesn't find the binary you can pass it on kubectl_path

cells.k8s_context = {
  enabled = true,
  -- If the current autodiscovery logic doesn't work add kubectl_path
  kubectl_path = '/usr/local/bin/kubectl'
}

Cell Formatting

Available text attributes:

• Bold: Bold intensity
• Curly/Dashed/Dotted/Double/Single: Underline styles
• Half: Half intensity
• Italic/NoItalic: Italic control
• NoUnderline: Remove underline
• Normal: Normal intensity
