option to remove tips

[M1cha]

This is great for newbies but at some point it's just useless information and wasting vertical screen space so it'd be great if they could be disabled.

To be clear: I know about the compact layout but that's not what I want. Removing the tips would free up a row. When I switch to a mode like TAB which prints key bindings, that row should re-appear temporarily to show them.

This would be great for the "feel" of the tool as well as its utility.

Particularly since the tips are possibly not built with quite the same greatness as other parts of Zellij — I currently have a tip about When changing focus with Alt + <nil>...

I assume there is no updates on this? This would be super helpful for my workflow where I don't have a big screen sometimes and I'm losing good real estate

This seems to fix your issue @M1cha:

---

The default layout.kdl looks like:

layout {
  pane size=1 borderless=true {
    plugin location="zellij:tab-bar"
  }
  pane
  pane size=2 borderless=true {
    plugin location="zellij:status-bar"
  }
}

The status-bar plugin behaves well with size=1, hiding the tips as required. When a mode is activated, the row switches to the key-bindings relevant to that row. See the docs for info about changing the default layout.

@rlch , thank you so much, this is perfect.
