Status-bar - Hide tip line when plugin is configurer with size=1

[welcoMattic]

Actually, with a layout like this:

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

It renders only the "tip line"

Could it be possible to change it to render only the "controls line"?

Or better, add an option to configure the plugin from the layout like:

pane size=2 borderless=true {
    plugin location="zellij:status-bar" options="lines:tip,controls"
}

pane size=1 borderless=true {
    plugin location="zellij:status-bar" options="lines:controls"
}

Where we can choose the rendered line when size=1?

Thanks

Hey, we can definitely add this as an option - but have you maybe considered the compact-bar instead?

compact bar is about displaying tabs, right? It adds the display of the current mode, but not the controls list?

[imsnif]

True - I guess you still want the mode+shortcuts display?
In that case we can make the status bar "do the right thing" depending on its size. Shouldn't be super difficult to change

Yes, exactly. I'm super newbie in Rust. I guess I found the right place to do the trick, but not sure.

I guess we have to add some condition right there https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/blob/main/default-plugins/status-bar/src/main.rs#L225-L233 ?

That seems right, yes! Would you like to give it a shot? If so, be sure to follow the build instructions in CONTRIBUTING.md - otherwise the plugins won't build and it could be very frustrating to figure out why your changes aren't taking effect.

@imsnif PR is open ;)

Thanks again @welcoMattic !
