I've made some progress in understanding emacs this past year, but
customizing the mode-line eludes me.
When I clock into an item in org-mode, the clock information is always
at the extreme right of the mode line --- and thus unable to be seen
unless I make my emacs window full screen.
(Most of my buffers have a ton of minor modes, which are all listed in
the mode line and push everything else out of sight).
Interestingly, if I have other modes contributing to the mode line, the
org-mode-line-string is always placed at the end of the
global-mode-string:
,
| global-mode-string is a variable defined in `C source code'.
| Its value is
| ((t jabber-activity-mode-string)
| appt-mode-string display-time-string org-mode-line-string)
`
I would be most grateful for any tips on how I might move the org-clock
information farther to the left in the mode line.
I think the variable you want is ``mode-line-format''.
Thanks! I was able to move the global-mode-string farther up in
the default-mode-line-format variable. Now if only I could get the
org-mode-line-string as the first entry in the global-mode-string.
Upon further reflection, I decided I would prefer the following behavior:
- When I clock into an item, a header line appears with the
org-mode-line-string -- i.e., the clock information.
- When I clock out of an item, the header line disappears (i.e.,
header-line-format is set to nil).
I'll see if I can cook something up using the org-clock hooks.
Best,
Matt
