Dave, Thanks for the help. I now have one status line and it doesn't update every single keystroke. "set noruler" worked. ** Travis Roth www.TravisRoth.com travis@travisroth.com -----Original Message----- From: blinux-list-admin@redhat.com [mailto:blinux-list-admin@redhat.com]On Behalf Of Dave Mielke Sent: Saturday, June 08, 2002 12:14 PM To: blinux-list@redhat.com Subject: RE: vi status line [quoted lines by Travis Roth on June 8, 2002, at 09:21] >Vim is displaying the file name, and each time the cursor is moved it updates >the status line to show the latest position, i.e., line number and column >number. vim doesn't do this by default, so you may wish to check for .vimrc and/or .exrc files which might be turning these features on. Is your vim displaying two lines at the bottom of the screen, i.e. one for status and the other for messages? If so, do "set laststatus=1" to get rid of the extra line. To get rid of the line and column numbers, do "set noruler". -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
