Subject: Update `minibuffer-line' on buffer switches
Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2015 16:22:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKu-7WzjAn5NYpWG0Lm6gP-8F=5qF1gK7JjLBmfWwgwo_mZAZQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
Recently Stefan has introduced the `minibuffer-line' package. I find it
very handy, especially for displaying the full path to either the
`default-directory' or `buffer-file-name'. Previously, I used
`frame-title-format' for this like so:
(setq-default frame-title-format
'((:eval
(list (user-login-name)
"@"
(system-name)
":"
(abbreviate-file-name (or (buffer-file-name)
(file-name-as-directory
default-directory)))))))
and it behaved very well since when one switches buffers, the title is
automatically updated. The same is true for `mode-line-format'. Both
variables come from the C source code. I'm not sure how automatic updating
is implemented for those, but obviously, to make this work with
`minibuffer-line', I'd have to attach `minibuffer-line--update' to some
hook which runs when buffers are switched. Is there such a hook? Are
there alternative implementations for this? Thanks.
Kind regards,
Alexander
