The only solution that I know of consists of resizing the split-window
in question until it is no bigger than the whole file. Then there won't
be any "empty lines" in it, unless you scroll past the end of the file.
To rapidly scroll a file which _is_ larger than its window so that the
bottom line of the file appears as the bottom line of the window, you
can for instance use
ggG
i.e., go to top, then go back to the bottom.
IMHO, the _best_ solution simply consists of accustoming yourself to the
notion that "tilde" lines mean space for growth past the present
end-of-file. (For "at-sign" lines in a partial wrapped line there _is_ a
better solution, but that's not what you're asking about.)
Best regards,
Tony.
