Everyone agrees, but the problem is that all this text can't be placed into the header line. Look, for example, at the Info node (info "(emacs)Save Keyboard Macro"). If it was displayed with the node name in the header line, it would be so long: File: emacs, Node: Save Keyboard Macro, Next: Edit Keyboard Macro, Prev: Keyboard Macro Query, Up: Keyboard Macros and on most displays would be truncated to: File: emacs, Node: Save Keyboard Macro, Next: Edit Keyboard Macro, Prev: Keyb OTOH, currently it is split to two lines - one for the header line, and another as an unhidden part of the Info node header: Next: Edit Keyboard Macro, Prev: Keyboard Macro Query, Up: Keyboard Macros File: emacs, Node: Save Keyboard Macro But there is no multi-line header line possible to display both lines in the header line. > > This could be a default mode that experts like the developer who > > instituted this change might customize to remove the current node > > from the header line. > > It is already customizable: C-h v Info-header-line This variable is obsolete. In CVS Emacs there is the new variable `Info-use-header-line'. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
