[Feature Request] option --no-statusbar

[nkh]

an option to NOT display any statusbar and a shortcut to toggle between not showing it and whatever --statusbar is set to

[walles]

In what situation do you want to hide the statusbar?

When / how is the current statusbar in the way / unhelpful?

All the time!

the statusbar is just a distraction that costs me a line of display

there may be times that I am interested to know that I am at 37% of the file but that's 1% of the time and then I'd like to ask for it

I dropped in moar as a replacement for less in an application I'm writing, the status bar (compared to less ":") was mehhh but that line on white background on my black terminal got moar removed very quickly.

I continued playing with it to see if it is a worthwhile replacement for "less". I'm not convinced yet but I think new applications need to be given a serious try otherwise we'd never change to the better. Not that "moar" is not capable just that it's difficult to find a good reason; I also profited of the occasion to give some feedback, because I really want to use new applications ;).

The same goes for the unsightly ">" for continuation, a trait shared by "less" unfortunately.
