You may change their colour. If you set bg and fg to the same value,
they will become invisible. For instance:
:hi NonText cterm=NONE ctermbg=bg ctermfg=bg gui=NONE guibg=bg guifg=bg
Note that the same highlight group also governs the @ or @@@ for a
partial line at the end of a window, and possibly other things too.
Is there any was the "statusline" can be displayed systematically? As
far as I can tell it only materializes when I split the display.
see ":help 'laststatus'". :set laststatus=2 will make it always visible.
Is there any way I can have the contents of a buffer displayed a couple
of columns to the right of the (sub)window's border? I currently specify
"set foldcolumn=" but that doesn't appeear to be what it was meant for
so I was wondering whether there might be a better way.
I don't understand what you're trying to do. Maybe ":help 'number'" or
":help :vsplit" will give you ideas.
Is there any way I can have vim display the hex contents of a buffer? I
currently do a "ggVG :!od -t x1z -w32" followed by "u" to revert back to
a regular view but maybe there is a more straightforward way to achieve
the same result.
see ":help hex-editing"
