✨ byobu-quiet — the manual page, bestie edition ✨

okay so you found byobu-quiet(1), part of the byobu fam 💖. Let me put you on, fr fr.

🌸 NAME 🌸

byobu-quiet — hush every single one of Byobu's status indicators and make the hardstatus line literally disappear 👑💅

🎀 USAGE 🎀

byobu-quiet [--undo]

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 🦋

  • --undo — puts everything back the way it was, no cap. run it and Byobu un-quiets itself 🙈

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

byobu-quiet will disable ALL of Byobu's status indicators and eliminate the hardstatus line. not some of them. ALL of them. periodt. 💀

and like — I get it. some administrators, in some environments, at some times may prefer a very minimal, quiet Byobu, without the potentially distracting status indicators and eye candy. main character energy of "please, I just want to work" 😌🍓

BUT WAIT. the window menu is preserved, as well as all of Byobu's keybindings and helper utilities. so you don't lose the good stuff, you just lose the sparkle ✨

heads up bestie: to eliminate the window list too, you want byobu-silent(1). byobu-quiet keeps the window menu, byobu-silent goes all the way. know the difference, iykyk 🫶
