I use LanguageClient-neovim[0] with pyls[1], tests are run using `:make` which populates the quickfix list with errors. I also heavily use the location list which gets populated with errors and warnings etc. automatically by LanguageClient-neovim. All of this is accessible through convenient keybindings. Full python setup here: https://github.com/L0stLink/anvil Status bar is lightline[2] with a custom theme, which I haven't gotten around to pushing yet. I can share it if you are interested. Other than the colors on the bar everything should work.

> I see you seem to be passing some info from vim to tmux right bottom bar, the utf8 the encoding. In vim, I usually show my offset in the file there. The bottom bar is rendered by Vim with lightline [1]. The top bar is my tmux statusline, which I created by lightly customizing the output of tmuxline.vim [2]. I made my tmux.conf by customizing what I found on github, in particular @junegunn's dotfiles [3].
