The MODLIN Library Monday, February 4, 1980
|
||
Updated Saturday, July 16, 1983
|
||
|
||
The mode line has the following form:
|
||
|
||
{editor} {time} [{superior}: {modeinfo} {options} {type} {buffer}] {file}
|
||
|
||
{editor} is the value of Emacs' "Editor Name" variable.
|
||
|
||
{time} is time and date, or just time (see below). This gets updated even
|
||
if in a recursive ^R mode.
|
||
|
||
{superior} is displayed on ITS if this Emacs is not at toplevel (eg, when
|
||
a LISPT lives under its lisp, you will see LISP: or in a MAILT
|
||
you will see MAIL:)
|
||
|
||
{type} is the value of the Emacs "Editor Type" variable enclosed in angle
|
||
brackets, or a "-" if no such value is assigned. If {buffer} is
|
||
omitted (see below) and this would have displayed as a "-", it is
|
||
also omitted.
|
||
|
||
{buffer} is now omitted if the buffer name is the same as fielname1 of {file}
|
||
|
||
{modeinfo} now shows the submode if any attached to the mode with a hyphen.
|
||
eg, if you load the PICTUR library and do MM Edit Picture you
|
||
might see something like:
|
||
[MAIL: Fundamental-Picture ...]
|
||
|
||
{options} A number of new options now display. They include:
|
||
|
||
NoSave - Autosave, if normally on, has been disabled
|
||
Save - Autosave turned on
|
||
SaveOld - Save this file automatically if new file read
|
||
into buffer
|
||
NoSaveOld - Don't ask and don't save file if new file read
|
||
into buffer
|
||
ReadOnlyFile - Saving, as in C-X C-S, will query before allowing
|
||
file to be written back. Saving via C-X C-W will
|
||
not bother to query since it reads a new filename.
|
||
ReadOnlyBuf - Buffer is protected from modification.
|
||
ReadOnlyFile/Buf - Same as ReadOnlyFile+ReadOnlyBuf
|
||
OverWrite - Overwrite mode enabled
|
||
Def - Keyboard Macro definition underway
|
||
Narrow - Buffer bounds have been narrowed.
|
||
|
||
Following these options, other user-set options, such as Abbrev
|
||
mode, are inserted.
|
||
|
||
{file} is the file being visited. If the file is a ">" or "<" file (ITS)
|
||
or ".0" or ".-2" file (Twenex), a designator "=nnn" where the nnn
|
||
is the version number of the file which was actually visited.
|
||
If the ">" or "<" file is not a numbered file, then the designation
|
||
"~fn2" will appear where fn2 is the actual second filename of the
|
||
visited file. Odd cases of fn2's which are not understood by MODLIN
|
||
will appear as "#" in place of "=nnn" or "~fn2".
|
||
|
||
The following switch variables are of interest:
|
||
|
||
Time Only:0 Show date and time. This is the default.
|
||
Time Only:1 Show time only.
|
||
|
||
Invert Filenames:0 Show filenames normally. This is the default.
|
||
Invert Filenames:1 Show filenames in funny order. Useful if filenames
|
||
are frequently too long to fit.

FOO.BAR PS:<JDOE> on Twenex
