They shouldn't be shorter than a normal character here, because that makes them difficult to click, but they will change size individually. I.e., when "-" changes to "%", the other chars later in "U:--" will move, but the things later in the mode line won't. > So if I'm too stupid to understand and think through your intentions, > then I'm afraid you'll have to do this yourself.
