Hi all,
I'd like to set the mode line to show the full path of the current file, but
only to _replace_ the filename with the fullpath, instead of wiping the
entire mode line and replacing it by just the filepath. There are other
things, like line position and time that I would like to keep on the mode
line.
What I'm currently using:
;; set mode line to show full path of current
file
(setq-default mode-line-format
(list '((buffer-file-name " %f"
(dired-directory
dired-directory
(revert-buffer-function " %b"
("%b - Dir: " default-directory)))))))
Thanks!

(setq-default mode-line-buffer-identification
(list 'buffer-file-name
(propertized-buffer-identification "%12f")
(propertized-buffer-identification "%12b")))
(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
(lambda ()
;; TODO: handle (DIRECTORY FILE ...) list value for dired-directory
(setq mode-line-buffer-identification
;; emulate "%17b" (see dired-mode):
'(:eval
(propertized-buffer-identification
(if (< (length default-directory) 17)
(concat default-directory
(make-string (- 17 (length default-directory))
?\s))
default-directory))))))
