Is it possible to have zero width window separator?

Question

I want to remove the split separators without any leftover empty space. Is such functionality exposed?

Whilst it isn't possible, you can effectively make it "invisible" by setting the foreground and background colour of VertSplit to be the same as your background e.g. :hi VertSplit guifg=bg guibg=bg. It still occupies one column though. — Andrew Ho-Lee, Feb 27, 2021 at 13:53
@AndrewHo-Lee Yes, I was aware of that but I need seamless continuity between windows in my imagined specific use case. Only route left is to build a custom UI on top of neovim. — tejasvi88, Feb 27, 2021 at 14:05
Fair enough, looks like you're right, it's either patching or building something on top of [neo]vim. — Andrew Ho-Lee, Feb 27, 2021 at 14:08
I knew we'd covered this issue before, but took me a while to find it. Turns out, this question is not quite a duplicate, but it's very strongly related: vi.stackexchange.com/questions/2938/… — Rich, Mar 3, 2021 at 11:08

It is currently not possible. A NeoVim issue requesting that was closed.
