Subject: bug#62606: [PATCH] function to align mode-line elements to right
Date: Sat, 01 Apr 2023 23:27:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d41f7452947c09b93fa6bc86ceb3f883@heagren.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 668 bytes --]
I wanted to be able to right-align some elements of the mode-line. I
used `tab-bar-format-align-right' as a base and modified it to work with
the mode-line.
The functin aligns to the right /fringe/ rather than the margin because
some modes (e.g. [visual-fill-column-mode]) mess around the margin size,
but the right-align should be unaffected by this.
Patch attached. I want to know that the code is good before I do NEWS
and docs etc. Obviously it would be useful to document this in info
(elisp) Mode Line Variables and maybe in the `mode-line-format'
docstring.
Blue skies,
Hugo

Subject: [PATCH] Support right-align in mode-line
* lisp/bindings.el (mode-line-format-right-align): New function. If
the symbol `mode-line-format-right-align' appears in
`mode-line-format', then return return a padding string which aligns
everything after that symbol to the right. Padding width is altered
with the display property.
(mode-line-format-right-align): New variable. Convenience definition
for including right alignment in `mode-line-format'.
