change the display of characters without changing font

Introduction

This plugin can change the display of characters without changing font.

echo artify#convert('Introduction', 'bold')  " ๐ˆ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง
echo artify#convert('Introduction', 'italic')  " ๐ผ๐‘›๐‘ก๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘‘๐‘ข๐‘๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘›
echo artify#convert('Introduction', 'bold_italic')  " ๐‘ฐ๐’๐’•๐’“๐’๐’…๐’–๐’„๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’

Thus, you can use it to tweak your vim UI. For example, change the display of tab line and status line.

lightline

The implementation of this plugin is very simple: convert English characters to special unicodes.

To be honest, I have another purpose to develop this plugin -- generate nickname and biography conveniently.

For example, my twitter name is "Sainnhepark", and now I can use this plugin to convert this string into "๐“ข๐“ช๐“ฒ๐“ท๐“ท๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“น๐“ช๐“ป๐“ด". Don't you think this is cooler than plain text? LOL

Performance

This plugin is implemented in pure vim script, I've tried my best to optimize it's performance, but it's still quite slow.

For neovim users, consider this lua implementation instead, it's about 20~30 times faster than this implementation.

Installation

If you are using vim-plug:

Plug 'sainnhe/artify.vim'

Usage

artify#convert('Introduction', 'italic')

The first parameter is the string you want to convert, and the second parameter is the "artify style".

All available styles are listed blow:
