Well, it turns out to be a bigger problem than I expected to do so. I
have most of the functionality working now, but I still have a big
problem with faces.
Consider the buffer name shown in the mode line.
It is shown in bold, but otherwise uses the mode-line face.
In the display engine, this is implemented by creating a new unnamed
face which using mode-line as the base font, but with the (:weight
bold) attribute added to it.
The problem is that there is no named face which has this appearence,
so I cannot simply put a (face mode-line-bold) property on the string
returned by format-mode-line.
Instead, I'll have to create a face specification to match the actual
appearence of the buffer name. I guess it can be done, but it seems a
lot of work to achieve a simple goal.
Any ideas how to simplify this task?
Maybe we should reconsider whether we really want a 100% accurate
appearence.
Can we perhaps accept that face attributes in the mode-line are
ignored when we copy the mode-line to a string, i.e. the whole string
will simply have the mode-line or header-line face property?
That's what my current code does...
BTW, it also copies the help-echo text, but the mouse doesn't work as
the help describes, since the mouse binding is like [mode-line
mouse-1], and it obviously doesn't work inside a buffer's text area.
