Can you give an > example? Now I only speak of the mode line. I think I found a way. First, define it for example like this (possibly add some more, later). (setq column-number-mode nil) (setq line-number-mode nil) (defvar show-modified t) (defvar show-path t) (defvar show-modes nil) (setq-default mode-line-format `(" " (show-modified mode-line-modified) " " (show-path (:eval (abbreviate-file-name (buffer-file-name)) )) " " (show-modes mode-line-modes) (line-number-mode "[%l] ") (column-number-mode "{%c}") )) For the modes that should show different stuff, simply change those variables (show-path etc.) locally. -- underground experts united
