How can I get rid of the state information of evil in the echo area? I've already displayed it in the status bar and there is no need to occupy the echo area.

  • FWIW, it does not occupy the echo area as it's gone by the next time a command prints something. – wasamasa Dec 07 '16 at 07:37

    @wasamasa Yes, but it freshes away the message I currently have... – xuhdev Dec 07 '16 at 10:32

    How about commenting out line 112 of evil-states.el (current version as of 12/07/2016) -- i.e., comment out: :message "-- INSERT --" and if necessary byte-compile-file after it has been modified? Here is a link to the exact line of the source code: https://bitbucket.org/lyro/evil/src/f2648b841f9bcded8764ce63410065d2b8c5f856/evil-states.el?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default#evil-states.el-112 – lawlist Dec 07 '16 at 16:36

Here's the solution for insert state. You can apply the same idea to other states as you see fit. 

(setq evil-insert-state-message nil)
