Subject: bug#59624: Usning global-mode-string for small screens
Date: Sun, 27 Nov 2022 02:51:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <xg7hdJCkmuDP2G6LzJMRf6BMLyqyEp8t9cxlL-NkwM_3YCCJTcHMeXXul7j9kF4ypFpqogc8MHiv2bX4lo6iybHWSDF1-2Co9ahDMpcL1RE=@protonmail.com> (raw)
A convenenient way to update the mode-line is to use "global-mode-string". This is quite powerful
because I can easily insert and remove the information in "global-mode-string" that one introduces
in the mode-line. For instance, one can add an indicator "Indic" in the mode. Then easily remove
it by resetting "global-mode-string".
Yet introducing global-mode-string, gets to be printed after the mode-lighters. This is a problem
far small screens.
(setq act "Indic")
(push '("" act) global-mode-string)
A more appropriate implementation could allow one to decide where to insert "global-mode-string"
(beginning, before buffer-name, before mode-lighter, end) or some other way suitable to people
who have to endure small screens.
