How can I hide the status bar in Visual Studio Code?

It should be possible to hide the status bar. Is there any way to hide it? In the "View" menu, I cannot find an option to hide it.

editor visual-studio-code

Solution 1:^[1]

View > Appearance > Show/Hide Status Bar

Solution 2:^[2]

I think you should have a try at this... Go to Tools(at the Menu Bar)->Options(at the bottom)->General->Show Status Bar(Uncheck it ) and then press OK.

Solution 3:^[3]

Find your key bindings preferences by entering ctrl + P. That will take you to your control panel and vscode even makes it easier to change the keys by only needing to press the keys. search for statusbar and just set it to something else like I did here. I toggle when I want to see it.

Right now the team have not open the permission for customising status bar (I mean show/hide, or change it to another colour).

But there has been a feature request about that. Others could trace this issue there:

Guy above nearly had it -

Tools(at the Menu Bar)->Options(at the bottom)->General->Environment > Status Bar

100% works

Solution 6:^[6]

Open the settings.json and add:

{
    // hide menu-bar, can be displayed pressing the Alt key
    "workbench.activityBar.visible": false,
    // Alt key no longer displays the menu-bar (useful when using i3 on Linux)
    "window.menuBarVisibility": "hidden"
}

Solution 7:^[7]

In VSCode 1.36 Go to Menu View -> Appearances -> Show Status Bar

This will enable back on check and hide on uncheck.

Solution 8:^[8]

press : ctrl+shift+P -> Open settings (JSON) -> "workbench.statusBar.visible": true,

Solution 9:^[9]

As of today, 17 Feb 2020, with the latest version of VSC. Just press the settings icon at the bottom left of your screen. A new tab opens in the editor. Go to workbench then appearance and find the status bar and check the visibility box.

Solution 10:^[10]

Easily. to hide, left-click on status bar. to show, (v1.4 .. 1.58) go on view. then appearance.
