hide statusline unless invoked

[gennaro-tedesco]

Could you please address me to the relevant documentation (if existing, I may have overlooked it) on whether it is possible to hide the bottom statusline and only invoke it on demand (say when entering a command or a search)?

Very often I use visidata to pipe the output of simple commands in, namely as some sort of quick pager, and I would prefer to have more room available to display some more rows of data in the bottom at the cost of the statusline (which for those use cases I would not use).

Hi @gennaro-tedesco, the status line can't be disabled. This seemed like a reasonable requirement, as even the classic pagers less and more use the bottom line for context information.

I see, good so then and thank you for answering :)
