create one-line window / remove local statusline

[epheien]

Some times, I need one line window, such like WinBar of vim8.1 or notebook tabs like gui.
But I found, I can not make one line window, the minimize window has 2 lines, 1 line content and 1 line statusline.
Can nvim provide an option to hide the statusline of the window?

Does set laststatus=0 what you want?

No
when :sp, even if set laststatus=0, above window always has statusline.

floating windows do not have statuslines, so you can use that to make a "one line window":

:call nvim_open_win(bufnr('%'), v:false, 80, 1, {'relative':'editor', 'row':2, 'col':5})

This requires Nvim 0.4.x (development version).

I known floating window feature, but floating window can not implement one line window.
Because I need a one line window just not overlay any content, such as a local tabline.
Currently, nvim can not implement this. If use floating window in line 1, it cover line 1 content of the current buffer.
I known emacs can simply hide statusline (mode-line).
In general, every window (except floating window) has border, statusline is a horizontal border, and vertical border is '|', I think, if these border can control to hide or show, tui of vim can will be greatly enhanced. of cause include floating window.

It will also be nice to have multi-line windows without statusline, or maybe multi-line "docked" floating windows like what is mentioned in #12925. That may help solve problems like nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-context#28.

"Docked" floating windows would be useful for Incline.nvim.

There is cmdheight=0 #16251 now, but it's global.
