Question

It's possible to move that element count (white) to status bar and remove that additional line?

Answer 1

You can insert output of set rulerformat? somewhere into your set statusline= and set 'rulerformat' to an empty value, but there is no way to hide statusbar.

my bad, I meant hide the ruler(?), that bottom black line in the image, not the status bar.

I got that. The bottommost line is the status bar for the lack of a better term and the line above it is the status line (confusing, I know). Ruler is in the right part of the status bar. Another thing there is input prompt that displays g when you're in the middle of typing gg.

The whole thing can't be hidden because it also displays messages. The only possibility is to make it appear automatically for command-line mode and when there is a message to show.

that possibility is implementable in vifmrc or would require new code? thank you anyway for clearing all this up for me

Needs adding an option and updating the code which currently assumes that the line is always visible.
