What do people think about moving mode-line-position before
global-mode-string in mode-line-format?
Yes, I have done this for some years and like it. It is a big
improvement. My current mode line looks like this:
--:** *mail* /home/bob Line 15 (Mail MC-w Abbrev Fill) All
(Although it does not particularly matter in a *mail* buffer, I always
include the default-directory in my mode line; otherwise, I get lost
among buffers that are visiting files. Right now I have 68 buffers,
of which of which 52 are visiting files. I spell out the word `Line'
because of a personal dislike for the plain `L', even though the plain
`L' does save screen space.)
