Re: [feature request] no mode-line, minibuffer pops up as needed

[Joe Corneli]

   I would like to be able to edit totally full screen, much in the
   same style as one sees upon invoking

     (make-frame (quote ((minibuffer . only))))

   But I would like to have the buffer in which I'm editing be a normal
   buffer (so I could change buffers, find files, and so on -- no
   limitations that aren't present a normal buffer).

   I would also like the minibuffer to hide except when I am using it
   to enter commands or when Emacs has a message for me.


It would also be nice to be able to control where the modeline and
minibuffer appear (like you can do in Oleo).  For example, I might
like to set

(setq minibuffer-line 0)
(setq mode-line 1)

to have the minibuffer on the top line of the screen and the
modeline on the next line below that.
