Subject: bug#28771: 26.0.60; A couple space display property feature requests
Date: Mon, 09 Oct 2017 18:20:42 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fuarc0px.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
I've branched this out from the following thread instead of posting it
there:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2017-10/msg00037.html
Here's a few features that would be nice for the pixel-specified space
properties.
1. Specifying the pixel width to the left/center/right of the text area.
This is helpful (I believe it's necessary if I want it to be robust)
when one wants to pad either side of a string with the same number of
pixels and the left side uses (:align-to 0).
I could use (:width (+ left-fringe left-margin)) for the right
padding, but this doesn't take into account line-number display, as
well as the scroll-bar width (if it's on the left).
2. Specifying the pixel position relative to the left or right edge of
the window. The right edge of the window currently may be the right
edge of the right fringe or the scroll bar, depending on what side it
is on. Also, just in the case that in the future the
fringe/scroll-bar may not be the outermost elements, there should be
a way to explicitly specify one of the edges.
3. Following from "1." and the help-gnu-emacs thread, it would be nice
if there was a display property that allowed you to pad a string on
both sides with a pixel-specified space instead of surrounding it
with 2 pixel-specified spaces.
