Wanting to insert a string (act) in the beginning of the mode-line, mode-line-format was
modified as follows. But I am not getting the string printed. What am I doing wrong here?
(setq-default mode-line-format
'("%e" mode-line-front-space
(:propertize
("" mode-line-mule-info
mode-line-client
mode-line-modified
mode-line-remote)
display (min-width (5.0)))
mode-line-misc-info ;; <-- HERE
mode-line-frame-identification
mode-line-buffer-identification
" "
mode-line-position
(vc-mode vc-mode)
" "
mode-line-modes
mode-line-end-spaces))
(push '("" act) global-mode-string)

You got to use backquote and evaluate act using a comma.
(push `("" ,act) global-mode-string)

That would take care of any mode-line setup or changes for any package.
