Allow set command height and status bar height to 0?

[tmpm697]

(n)vim has these options:

cmdheight = 0
laststatus = 0

to disable command line and statusline.

What is the purpose of such commands? I can't imagine a situation where I would need it. Afaik in vim you can't do cmdheight=0 because it should be positive.

clean UX/UI I think, basically I know eactly everything about current buffer and its state, having two lines reserved for cmd and status is redundant.

Yes I think cmdheight=0 does not work with (n)vim, but you can use noice.nvim that leverage cmd

This seems super niche to me. We try to keep the config minimal and helix is somewhat more opinionated instead of a "do whatever you want" sandbox like vim (and even they don't have a config option for this). I am not a fan of adding a ton of different config options like this as it makes the codebase easier to maintain for very questionable utility (how much difference do two more lines of vertical space really make).
