@Chinmany,

I suggest you to go through the powerline documentation for implementing arrows in Vim editor at: https://powerline.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overview.html

Hey, thanks for the guide, it worked very well. I had 2 issues and would like to get cleared: 1. for terminal, how do i put arrows at end of path instead of rectangular box? 2. I use yakuake as terminal. powerline worked on it but for vim instead of arrows, weird symbols were shown. can you tell me how to fix that?

That works great !! Only one things thats annoying is , if the path to the directory is very long, it displays a very long path on the shell prompt, sometimes it appears on the next line too. Can it be restricted to the Just the Current folder as of that like in Bash. ?
