Hide gutter from Syntastic

Question

Using the syntax checker Syntastic calls up a gutter which points to all lines with errors in it. Once I am done checking I would like to hide this gutter. The only way I have found is to reopen the same file. I must be missing something, how do I hide the gutter? I have tried :set foldcolumn=0 to no avail.

These are called signs (:h sign). Try

:sign unplace *

If you only want Syntastic's gutter to go away, use :SyntasticReset.

You have 3 (that i know of :) side-columns in VIM. Fold, number and sign.

Gutter uses the sign one.

:set signcolumn=auto which should be the default and it will only show when gutter has content there. Set to on|off to show|hide.

Please add at least one sentence to explain why it works. – Ivan Gabriele Nov 24 '18 at 06:53

In VIM 8.2 I used `:set signcolumn=no`. – permanuno Sep 03 '20 at 01:27
