A minor mode for this is a good idea. However, the particular indicator you use adds 17 characters to the minibuffer text, which is often already very busy. Just the number itself should be sufficient, perhaps followed by a separator such as `)'. IOW, instead of Find file: (minibuf-depth 2) Match also (regexp): (minibuf-depth 3) Match also (regexp): use just: Find file: 2) Match also (regexp): 3) Match also (regexp): We could add an option whose value is the text to use, with default value (format "%s)" (minibuffer-depth)).
