How to hide the menu/tool bar of gvim?

Question

I don\'t have use for the menu and tools bars in gvim on Windows; Can I hide them?

This will give more space to the text area.

Answer 1

You can select Edit -> Global settings -> Toggle toolbar. This hides toolbar until you restart VIM. Then, enter :set. Vim prompt you list of different options, find line containing guioptions. This is what you need to add to .vimrc file to sustain this appearance.

This method can be used if you don't know option name but know how to change it through main menu.
