Subject: Making vertical-border char defcustom?
Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2020 00:13:27 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2E19AE9F-891D-42D9-9BD4-9B355804C189@paulwrankin.com> (raw)
Would anyone be open to adding a defcustom for the vertical-border
slot in standard-display-table?
In the past I've been using the following...
(defun prettify-vertical-border (&optional dummy)
(ignore dummy)
(set-display-table-slot
(or buffer-display-table standard-display-table)
'vertical-border ?│))
(when (not window-system)
(add-hook 'window-configuration-change-hook
'prettify-vertical-border)
(add-hook 'change-major-mode-hook
'prettify-vertical-border))
However the problem with this approach is that some major/minor-modes
set their own overriding display-table... I think help-mode or
special-mode...
This would make Emacs look a lot prettier on UTF-8 consoles, as
currently the 0x7C (vertical bar) default does not create a solid
vertical line with most fonts.
Thoughts?
