REQ: Hide empty tag bar

pepa65 opened this issue · comments

As of now, I'm not using tags, so I would like to hide the tag bar.
This is probably already possible, because the dvtm in the Ubuntu repos is like that. But I can't get it to work editing config.h. I tried const char tags[][8] = {}; but that didn't get rid of the whole line.

Hmm, it seems the older version (0.12) just didn't have a tag bar... So it would be a real feature to have it hidden as an option.

DVTM's manpage has the info you want. Man pages always have the info we want ;)

man dvtm in a terminal:


...

Mod-b
Change to bottom stack tiling layout.
Mod-g
Change to grid layout.
Mod-s
Show/hide the status bar.
Mod-S
Toggle position of the status bar between top and bottom.
Mod-r
...

There is also an option in config.h to choose whether the tag bar (status line) is shown at startup or whether you have to toggle it with the keybinding:

Is that what you meant?

Thanks for your help. I am perhaps not clear on the terminology.There used to be one bar, with the number of the terminal (status bar?).That I would like to keep. But there is also a tag-bar where the tags are displayed, and that one I don't want to see, because it has no value to me. It seems it is either both hidden or both displayed. I would like to get rid of the line with the tags, but keep the status bar.

OK, found it. What I don't want is called BAR, and setting BAR_POS to BAR_OFF closes this issue!
