I want to hide the statusline, I don't ever use nor care about what is written in it. The problem is vim doesn't offer a way to achieve that in a convenient manner. If I just do set laststatus=0
I will suffer from the artifact mentioned in this question. If I do set laststatus=1
and set fillchars=stl:\
the status line will be invisible but well, still take a line of space, which is annoying...
Here's how it looks right now, slight darker background just to show you that it's blocking the text behind it and is still taking one line of space
Is there a way to hide the status line for good (both in single and multiple windows mode) without suffering from the artifacts mentioned in the previous question?
I'd appreciate any help, tired of fighting my tools to get them to do what I want.
