Vim - buffer names in the cmd line area

Question

When I edit files with vim there is always this in the cmd line area,under the status line,all buffers' names(image : )

Is there any way I can remove it?

Answer 1

Your vim config file has some extra custom stuff somewhere because that's not part of the default package.

Try adding this to your ~/.vimrc file:

:set laststatus=0

You can test by just running that in an open editor.

Edit: Based on your reported status line, you should probably change:

set statusline=\ \%F%m%r%h%w\ ::\ %y\ [#\%n]\%=\ [%p%%:\ %v\::\%l/%L]\ –

…to:

set statusline=\ \%F%m%r%h%w\ ::\ %y\ [#\%n]

…but you may need to experiment to see which parts you want to keep and which parts are the line you don't want.

Answer 2

It looks like buftabs.vim which modifies the 'statusline' as you switch buffers, then restores 'stl'.
