Add total line info to statusline

I would prefer not to see these by default but instead associate it with a key. Like g ^g will show Col 1 of 126; Line 2 of 97; Word 2 of 639; Byte 11 of 4373.

Hmm, this is going to get tricky because everyone is used to a different statusline format. (I personally don't want any of these new values shown).

I'd like to keep the default statusline as is, but I would accept a PR that makes this field configurable with a format string: {line}:{col} {total} {percent}% for example. Before rendering the field you can then simply .replace("{line}", line_num) etc.

Templating should work, e.g. https://docs.rs/indicatif/0.16.2/indicatif/index.html#templates

Yeah that's what I mean by a format string. Sadly we can't use format!("{value}", value=4); etc since it has to be a static string, but doing it manually via substitutions should work just as fine.

I think indicatif parses the string for any {}, so I wonder if we could just copy paste that.

It uses a regex to parse the template, then substitutes a fixed set of keys. https://github.com/mitsuhiko/indicatif/blob/27c8cc3078b65aa2573dbe673a00471d6662698c/src/style.rs#L238-L390

We might be able to reuse that with some tweaking (lazy_static -> once_cell, disabling styles for now)

[pickfire]

We might want a temporary solution here until we support plugin.
