Merge branch 'master' into develop

Develop lagged a bit so merging...
Merge branch 'master' into develop

Merging master into 'develop' to try out stuff. Removed .git from vim/ in master
Routine changes, nothing fancy here

Merge branch 'master' into develop
Cool. Fixed the issue with the status bar. yaay

The issue was from the terminal vim somehow 'escaping' the powerline
fonts that i copied. Solved by using 'gvim' to paste copied characters
to tmux.conf
A very trivial change that deserves no mention, true
