Comments on: Hiding and replacing modeline strings with clean-mode-line

Is it possible to write a Lisp function that would show the full (unmodified) modeline in the minibufer (using “message”)? That may be useful to hide most modes and to get the full modeline on demand only…

I was also using diminish. Now I’m trying Powerline https://github.com/jonathanchu/emacs-powerline

Yep, +1 for `diminish.el`, which does the same thing, or at least shares your goal.

There is also diminish.el which I’ve used for a while.

Two things: 1) there's a subtle bug in my code, which I have now fixed; 2) the actual name used is not auto-fill-mode but auto-fill-function. If you do C-h v minor-mode-alist you should see it near the bottom with the string " Fill". Good job finding the bug.

Hello, thanks for sharing this. This is very usefull.

I think I’ve found a bug. I’ve added (auto-fill-mode . “a”) under (paredit-mode . ” π”) — ‘a’ is just for testing purpose. After eval-buffer, while I M-x I’ve got a nice “Wrong type argument: consp, nil”. I’ve tried other modes (minor and major), without much problem. Is that just me ?

Thank you very much.
