On my graphical display, this collapses it so all i get is a thin black line separating the buffer from the echo area. But the mode line still holds some useful information that i want to see. I would rather that be in the header line, because to me it makes sense for this kind of metadata to be /above/ the buffer it is describing. First, in white on black text, i want the information about the state of the file. This will show three hyphens in the top left corner of the header line. The first two hyphens mean that the file is both writable and unchanged. If the buffer has been changed, they will change to two asterisks. If the buffer is read only, they will change two percentage symbols. And if the buffer is read only and has been changed, the first will change to a percentage symbol, and the second will change to an asterisk. The final hyphen represents that the file is local, specifically that the default-directory variable is local. If it is remote, an at symbol will be displayed instead. @@ -310,6 +304,7 @@ Below that, show a line and column coördinate. There are special minor modes t I don't know exactly what the final variable covers, so i keep it here so that if something shows up i know that it gets put here. Because i have a global mode line in my tab bar, some of the things that would otherwise be here (like the time, battery percentage, and notifications for chat buffers) don't show up. #+begin_src elisp + (setq-default mode-line-format nil) (setq-default header-line-format '("%1*%1+%1@ " "%b:%l,%c " |
