'Is it possible to have a single statusline in vim with multiple splits?

Can I have a single statusline at the bottom of the window that changes to information about the currently focussed buffer?



Solution 1:[1]

Six years later, this is now possible with neovim.

To activate put:

laststatus=3

in your init.vim

No. You cannot. I am unaware of any plugins that allow you to achieve this either. Basically the general property of the status line is to display information for a window so it is per additional window that you have opened.
