If you use vim-sleuth, you might want to replace

set statusline+=%(\ \ %{&modifiable?(&expandtab?'et\ ':'noet\ ').&shiftwidth:''}%)

by

set statusline+=%(\ \ %{&modifiable?SleuthIndicator():''}%)

I use this instead of SleuthIndicator():

function! LightLineBufSettings()
    let et = &et ==# 1 ? "•" : "➜"
    return ('│ts│'. &tabstop . '│sw│'. &shiftwidth . '│et│' . et . '│')
endfunction

great status line configuration!
I can't get vim to load this status line on startup. i copied the code into a file under .vim/plugin/ and added a so ~/.vim/plugin/file to my .vimrc, but the status line will only load after i manually source the vimrc from within a vim session.

any idea as to why this is happening?

thanks

@jonathaw, you can set the statusline directly on your vimrc file. Only if you already made your vimrc modular, then I'd assume you know where else to put these settings.

EDIT: If no statusline appears, you should add set laststatus=2 to your vimrc too. If this still does not solve your issue, you might want to check if a plugin is not interfering.
