[Solved] vim-airline laststatus=1

I have installed vim-airline plugin from Arch repository. Now I see cool status line every time when I open empty vim window. But I don't want to see it in this case.  I have tried to ":set laststatus=1" in .vimrc, but it doesn't work. Anybody knows how to configure vim (or vim-airline) to show status line only when 2 or more buffers opened?

Re: [Solved] vim-airline laststatus=1

You may want to edit lines 131+132 of airline.vim as they explicitly set laststatus=2.  Alternatively, you could override this setting as long as you set it *after* airline.vim is sourced.

This may be an upstream bug as the behavior of the code in airline.vim does not match their documentation (e.g., their second troubleshooting FAQ item).

I raised a bug about this when it was changed in vim-airline: https://github.com/vim-airline/vim-airline/issues/1560.

Trilby, bulletmark thanks a lot.
I have added ":autocmd VimEnter * set laststatus=1" to my .vimrc. Now vim-airline works as I want.
