Question

Hi echasnovski!

So above is the image of my mini.starter. The issue I am actually facing is that there is a grey strip which appears on the left of the the mini.starter which is nothing but statuscolumn. So, setting statuscolumn like this set statuscolumn= removes it completely.

Now I had two questions here :-

1. How do I do this programatically in neovim lua as I use the following plugin for statuscolumn configuration and adding ministarter to ft_ignore does not remove it?

add("luukvbaal/statuscol.nvim")
        require("statuscol").setup({
                relculright = false,
                bt_ignore = { "terminal", "\\[dap-repl-*\\]" },
                ft_ignore = { "ministarter", "help" },
                segments = {
                        { text = { "%s" }, click = "v:lua.ScSa" },
                        {
                                text = { require("statuscol.builtin").lnumfunc },
                                click = "v:lua.ScLa",
                        },
                        {
                                text = { require("statuscol.builtin").foldfunc, " " },
                                click = "v:lua.ScFa",
                        },
                },
        })

3. Does it actually make sense to do this setting statuscolumn to empty thing from mini.starter plugin itself since there is no need to have statuscolumn shown in the first place in mini.starter screen?

Use dedicated event to set the option locally. There is no FileType event triggered for 'ministarter' filetype for performance reasons (which is crucial as 'mini.starter' is loaded/executed during startup).

Yeah, it indeed might be a good idea. I was hesitant previously because it was a relatively new feature and 'mini.nvim' still supports Neovim 0.8 which doesn't have it implemented.

Is it possible to currently make it so that if neovim is 0.9 or greater, then set the statuscolumn to empty or dont use it at all? If it is, then can you please consider doing it this way.

[echasnovski]

Yes, this should already be the case on latest main.

Lol you actually pushed the entire fix by the time I typed this message XD.
