Hiding vim command-line when it's not being used?
Is there any way to hide the vim command-line (ideally, automatically) when it's not being used? On small screens it takes up one valuable line. I'm thinking it would be 'normally' hidden, and appear when :, /, etc. are typed.
Solution 1:
No, that is not possible. The command line is always present and there's no way to hide it without changing vim's sources.
It's not only used if you type : or / but also for status messages (try ctrl-g, for instance).
