- When the option starts with "%!" then it is
used as an expression, evaluated and the
result is used as the option value.
Example:
:set statusline=%!MyStatusLine()
The result can contain%{}items that will be evaluated too.
e.g.
set statusline=%F%m%r%h%w\ [FORMAT=%{&ff}]\ [TYPE=%Y]\ [ASCII=\%03.3b]\ [HEX=\%02.2B]\ [POS=%04l,%04v][%p%%]\ [LEN=%L]
set statusline=%f%m%r%h%w\ \ [%Y]\ \|\ asc:\ %3.3b,\ hex:\ %2.2B\ \|\ pos:\ %4.4l,%-4.4v\ \|\ byte:\ %6.8o\ \|\ %2.2p%%\ \|\ lines:\ %5.8L\ \ \ \ %#Pmenu#%{strftime(\"%a\ %Y-%m-%d\ %H:%M\",localtime())}%#Status#
