remove vim bottom line? with mode, line, column, etc

Question

Is it possible?..

I mean the most bottom line of screen, to get just full terminal screen of buffer lines.

This is not the line controlled by the laststatus variable.

Answer 1

Apparently no, you need at least one line available for ex commands. You can disable the mode message and ruler if you like with:

:set nosmd   " short for 'showmode'
:set noru    " short for 'ruler'

But the line will still be there.
