Hmm, interesting...and thanks! These two plugins seem to use the
statusline for the progress indicator. I thought of that, and
abandoned the idea when I noticed that the status lines weren't being
populated all the way during processing...but later investigation
showed me that's because 'ruler' gets reset from one of the speed-up
options set by the plugin (I don't remember which). At the time, I was
still hoping to use :echon to output the progress indicator, which I
also had to abandon. My eventual goal is to use the full screen width
(or pretty close to it) for the progress bar. Is there a good way to
get this for an individual status line? I didn't think so, whereas
using an ":echo" type command, &columns basically does the trick.
I'll give it a shot using the status line (maybe making use of a
plugin, but I'm hoping for eventual inclusion into the upstream, so
maybe just pulling code from them). Hopefully it will be more usable.
For me, the screen flashes quite a bit *without* the progress
indicator, so I'm not certain it will be, but perhaps the somewhat
static status line will be more readable than a quickly flashing
message at the bottom of the window.
