Disable lualine for specific buffer type

[JPFrancoia]

Hi,

I'm migrating from airline to lualine, and there is just one tiny bit of config I can't get to work.

I have this in my vimrc:

"Needed to get vial-http to display information in status bar
"See: https://github.com/baverman/vial-http/issues/9
au WinEnter,BufWinEnter __vial_* let w:airline_disabled=1

Basically for some buffers, I want to disable airline/lualine. This is because both airline and lualine prevents another plugin (vial-http) to display some info in the status bar. I know it's a bit of a niche use case, but any help would be appreciated.

I tried playing with the the disabled_filetypes and disabled_buftypes, but I couldn't really get what I wanted.

Check out this section of the docs

I mentioned in my initial message that I have tried that. I can't disable by filetype, I would need to disable by "buffer type"

If you look at the whole section there is the hide method for disabling and reenabling lualine. You could implement that into your autocommand such that it will disable on buffer type.
