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.

    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: bitbucket.org/lyro/evil/src/…

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)
