Subject: Inserting string to start of mode-line via change in mode-line-format
Date: Sun, 27 Nov 2022 21:41:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <uPPLnjZF0OaazgFOn-ED-iRdbU3ZgDNgOmyNmx7fc9_RcSnyWQrWubRMC6Jg4Yi2mYwAlbT2jMgiH9HjQBrDTBAgICfgyw_qvxRIe9Y7SSk=@protonmail.com> (raw)

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)
