window status_format2 “[<text>]”

Normally every window uses the global set status_format2 value to create the bottom line of the double status bar. You have the option of overriding the status bar format on a per-window basis.

Remember that changing a window's status_format2 does not change the global status_format2, nor does it change any other window's status_format2.

It's a really good idea to always put the status format within double quotes so it can contain spaces.

You can delete the window's custom status_format1 by doing

/window status_format2

with no arguments after it. The window will go back to using the global status_format2.

Custom window status formats still obey set show_status_all.

See the set status_format help file for more info.

This value is only used when window double is ON.
