How is it related to minibuffer? Because such functions as `read-from-string' directly use minibuffer. I have extensive use of such functions in my work and other people use it as well. Heaving a header in minibuffer would help my workers understand better what is meant with the input. From manual: The “minibuffer” is where Emacs commands read complicated arguments, such as file names, buffer names, Emacs command names, or Lisp expressions. We call it the “minibuffer” because it’s a special-purpose buffer with a small amount of screen space. You can use the usual Emacs editing commands in the minibuffer to edit the argument text. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.

Maybe I forgot to push. It's here: https://github.com/rougier/minibuffer-header/blob/master/minibuffer-header.el#L58 The format can be a string or a function if you want a dynamic header line. For example, you can hide the regular prompt and display it in the header line. You can also prefix the header line with minibuffer depth in case of recursive minibuffers, etc. Nicolas -- Nicolas P.

I just added it to elpa.git, but it won't be released into GNU ELPA yet because of the "Copyright" line in the file, which needs to be updated, as in the patch below, which also tweaks the `.gitignore`. After making those changes, you should be able to check the result at https://elpa.gnu.org/devel/minibuffer-header.html Once you're satisfied, you'll need to additionally bump the `Version:` in order to tell GNU ELPA to build a release tarball.
