Configuration items

Toggle visibility

Toggle entire segment or specific section's visibility with the following environment variables:

• POWERLINE_KEEBS_SHOW

# toggle segment visibility
$ POWERLINE_KEEBS_SHOW=0 powerline-daemon --replace # hide powerline-keebs segment
$ POWERLINE_KEEBS_SHOW=1 powerline-daemon --replace # show powerline-keebs segment (default)

Alternatively you can add the following function to your shell for easier toggling:

toggle_powerline_keebs() {
  case "$1" in
      # toggle segment visibility
      if [[ "${POWERLINE_KEEBS_SHOW:-1}" -eq 1 ]]; then
        export POWERLINE_KEEBS_SHOW=0
      else
        export POWERLINE_KEEBS_SHOW=1
      fi
    ;;
  esac
}
