I think so, too. Today those things are just constant strings -- it'd be nice to be able to add this in a non-consing way (i.e., without having to create a new big-ish string every time we display the mode line). Here's the current code: `(:propertize ("" mode-name) help-echo "Major mode\n\ mouse-1: Display major mode menu\n\ mouse-2: Show help for major mode\n\ mouse-3: Toggle minor modes" mouse-face mode-line-highlight local-map ,mode-line-major-mode-keymap) This is quite careful to not create any garbage. Hm... perhaps we could just make the help-echo point to a function instead? That should have no performance impact, I think. '("" mode-line-process) `(:propertize ("" minor-mode-alist) mouse-face mode-line-highlight help-echo "Minor mode\n\ mouse-1: Display minor mode menu\n\ mouse-2: Show help for minor mode\n\ mouse-3: Toggle minor modes" local-map ,mode-line-minor-mode-keymap) The minor modes are done in one go, though, so that'd have to be changed? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
