HI,
I saw here : https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Display_date-and-time_on_status_line
and there : https://vi.stackexchange.com/questions/17875/how-to-update-the-statusline-continuously-even-if-the-window-becomes-inactive
that `timer_start` could refresh statusline.
something might have happened, because I can't get it to work.
here's the simple code I use:
```
set ruler
set rulerformat=%55(%{strftime('%H:%M:%S')}\ %5l,%-6(%c%V%)\ %P%)
call timer_start(1000, {-> execute(':let &stl=&stl')}, {'repeat': -1})
```
and here's version:
