i want a status bar that doesn't take up an extra line. so, basically something that takes up the line where i enter commands and goes away when i enter commands. rulerformat almost does what i want but it seems to only allow 18 characters in that space. it's not that big of a deal, i just like the information statusline gives but want the extra line of real estate. >> and, what is making vim change the bottom laststatus when i split? > > What do you mean "change the bottom laststatus"?

Or something else? > idk what i was talking about. i seem to remember the bottom statusline moving up when i split. but i can't reproduce it - so either i was seeing things, insane, or too tired (probably all of the above). -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
