vim-minimal-look

This plugin lets you toggle the visibility of the following UI elements:

• status line (laststatus)
• mode indicator (showmode)
• cursor position indicator (ruler)
• command indicator (showcmd)
• line numbers (number)
• relative line numbers (relativenumber)
• empty line indicator (fillchars)

By default, the plugin binds <Leader>M. When you activate it, it remembers your settings, so your customizations will be restored after deactivation. You can override the default keybinding in your .vimrc or init.vim:

let g:minimal_look_no_mappings = v:true

" If you prefer `gM` instead of `<Leader>M`:
nmap <silent> gM <Plug>ToggleMinimalLook

Or in your init.lua:

vim.g.minimal_look_no_mappings = true

vim.keymap.set('n', 'gM', '<Plug>ToggleMinimalLook', { silent = true })

Use your Vim package manager, or install it manually in Vim:

$ mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/gn0/start
$ cd ~/.vim/pack/gn0/start
$ git clone https://github.com/gn0/vim-minimal-look.git

Or in Neovim:

$ mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim/pack/gn0/start
$ cd ~/.config/nvim/pack/gn0/start
$ git clone https://github.com/gn0/vim-minimal-look.git
