Hide shortcut bar

[eater]

Is that what it's called, the bar at the top with the VimTouch logo, the pencil, the ESC, and the :Q! ?

I want to remove it -- is that possible? It takes up screen space, and having the possibility of accidentally hitting :q! with a stray finger and losing my document makes me nervous.

Edit res/values-v11/styles.xml and change Theme.Holo.Light and Theme.Holo to Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.

As anjiro explained, to remove action bar in vimtouch, for now it seems you need to modify the source. This will remove action bar in "Light" (white) mode only, not in "Dark" mode:

TODO: add a theme selector in UI and create a new "No action bar" theme ;)

And then compile Vimtouch.

I had to make 2 other change to compile:

And then follow https://github.com/momodalo/vimtouch/#developer to compile. You may need additional packages / env variables like the following:

apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

./prepare-clean-checkout.sh
ant debug

Best text editor on android, thanks devs !!
