How to disable statusline but keep the shortcut tip area?

[ravenxrz]

Like the screenshot below.

The shortcuts prompt is redundant when users get accustomed to it. But I do need the tip area to show status like pane entering FULLSCREEN.

Hi! Unfortunately, This is currently not possible. It is expected that it will be possible if plugin configuration feature is implemented in the future.

These plugins are used in your layout, so they are loaded automatically.

To remove the status bar, you need to change the layout.

To do that:

• dump the default layout:

  mkdir ~/.config/zellij/layouts
  zellij setup --dump-layout default > ~/.config/zellij/layouts/my_layout.kdl
  

• edit ~/.config/zellij/layouts/my_layout.kdl and remove the status bar at the bottom,

• edit ~/.config/zellij/config.kdl to set default_layout "my_layout"

That will fully remove both bars, since they are the same "status-bar" plugin. Personally, I like the following layout:

layout {
    pane size=1 borderless=true {
        plugin location="compact-bar"
    }
    pane
}

I was looking around how to get everything I need, as I'm new to zellij still keybinding hints and a tab bar, in one bar. After getting here I found: zellij faq
Exactly doing what I was looking for. So as it quit well fits the title of this thread, although it doesn't seem to answer the OP, I thought I mention it.

It's easy to include in custom layouts too, like:

layout {
    default_tab_template name="main" {
        // compact-bar at the top
        pane size=1 borderless=true {
            plugin location="zellij:compact-bar" {
                tooltip "F1"
            }
        }
        children
    }

    tab name="nixos" cwd="~/nixos-config/" {
        pane
    }

  // other stuff
}
