My vision with overlay-arrow-variable-list was that each mode (gdb, compile, grep, ...) would need just one arrow each, and in their "own" buffer.

You can assign a separate overlay arrow string to your own variable via the overlay-arrow-string property on that variable. > > Otoh, it would be the quickest patch to make...

You should definitely make a separate variable for compile, as the "standard" arrow is reserved for gdb. I can easily envision running compile and gdb simultaneously. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
