I am using "command-log-mode" and want to insert some text after
the log buffer is opened, but before logging starts.
I am struggling to figure out where and how I should do this.

Have tried inserting text in the following function but it is not being
displayed. I think the buffer is not available at that point.
(defun clm/open-command-log-buffer (&optional arg)
On the other hand "clm/log-command (&optional cmd)" intercepts command activation
but I do not want my text to appear every time there is command activation.

How is it that I cannot call (insert "test" clm-command-log-buffer)
to print something to tho command log buffer?
Seems quite more complicated to do than I initially thought.
(defun clm-open-command-log-buffer (&optional arg)
"Opens (and creates, if non-existant) a buffer used for logging keyboard commands.
If ARG is non-nil, the existing command log buffer is cleared."
(interactive "P")
(with-current-buffer
(setq clm-command-log-buffer
(get-buffer-create " *command-log*"))
(text-scale-set 1))
(when arg
(with-current-buffer clm-command-log-buffer
(erase-buffer)))
(let ((new-win (split-window-horizontally
(- 0 command-log-mode-window-size))))
(set-window-buffer new-win clm-command-log-buffer)
(set-window-dedicated-p new-win t)))

Hi Jean, could you help out with this. It is quite minor but have not
got a solution to it yet.
The code is here
https://github.com/lewang/command-log-mode/blob/master/command-log-mode.el
The user wants to add some text at the start of the logging window. I tend
to agree that the text has to be inserted in "clm/open-command-log-buffer"
but cannot quite see how that could be made to work.
Regards
Christopher
