Question

As the title says.

I’ve been searching for quite a while, and if it’s easy then I must be blind.

But what is the best way to only output the current file’s name? Using expand('%') I get the relative path, as far as I can tell.

Using %f gives me the relative path, and %F gives me the full path from home (if I’m in home folder).

So how can I achieve this? Only get the current file’s name, as it would appear in the buffer name.

Thanks for your help!

Use:

set statusline=%t 

t as in tail of filename of file in the buffer.
