A fancy and fast mode-line inspired by minimalism design.

It's integrated into [Doom Emacs](https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs) and
[Centaur Emacs](https://github.com/seagle0128/.emacs.d).

## Feature

The `doom-modeline` was designed for minimalism, and offers:

- A match count panel (for `anzu`, `iedit`, `multiple-cursors`, `symbol-overlay`,
  `evil-search` and `evil-substitute`)
- An indicator for recording a macro
- Current environment version (e.g. `python`, `ruby`, `go`, etc.) in the major-mode
- A customizable mode-line height (see `doom-modeline-height`)
- A minor modes segment which is compatible with `minions`
- An error/warning count segment for `flymake`/`flycheck`
- A workspace number segment for `eyebrowse`
- A perspective name segment for `persp-mode`
- A window number segment for `ace-window`, `winum` and `window-numbering`
- An indicator for modal editing state, including `evil`, `overwrite`, `god`,
  `ryo` and `xah-fly-keys`, etc.
- An indicator for remote host
- An indicator for debug state
- An indicator for current input method
- An indicator for LSP state with `lsp-mode` or `eglot`
- An indicator for github notifications
- An indicator for unread emails with `mu4e-alert`
- An indicator for irc notifications with `circe`
- An indicator for buffer position which is compatible with `nyan-mode`
- An indicator for party parrot
- An indicator for PDF page number with `pdf-tools`
- An indicator for battery status with `fancy-battery`
- Truncated file name, file icon, buffer state and project name in buffer
  information segment, which is compatible with `projectile` and `project`
- New mode-line for `Info-mode` buffers
- New package mode-line for `paradox`
- New mode-line for `helm` buffers
- New mode-line for `git-timemachine` buffers

## Install

### Manual

From melpa, `M-x package-install RET doom-modeline RET`.

In `init.el`,

``` emacs-lisp
(require 'doom-modeline)

### Use-package

``` emacs-lisp
(use-package doom-modeline
      :ensure t
      :hook (after-init . doom-modeline-mode))

This package requires the fonts included with `all-the-icons` to be installed.
Run `M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts` to do so. Please refer to the
[installation guide](https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el#installation).

Strongly recommend to use

## FAQ

1. I am experiencing the laggy issue, how to resolve it?

   Add this configuration into your init file:

   ``` emacs-lisp
   ;; Don’t compact font caches during GC.
   (setq inhibit-compacting-font-caches t)
   ```

1. A ridiculous path is displayed on mode-line while visiting a symbolink.

    It's the default behaviors of Vanilla Emacs. If you want to display the real
    names, please put this into your init file.

    ``` emacs-lisp
    (setq find-file-visit-truename t)
    ```

    If the file is controlled by vc, refer to the documentation of
    `vc-follow-symlinks`.

1. Can I add my mode-line segments myself? How to do that?

   Of course. Just add the segments into `global-mode-string`.

1. Why doesn't change of branch reflect in modeline?

   Actually it's related to `magit` and `vc-mode`.
   - Workaround:
     - Revert the buffers manually.
     - `(setq auto-revert-check-vc-info t)` brings the performance issue.
   - Refer to:
     - [The mode-line information isn’t always
       up-to-date](https://magit.vc/manual/magit/The-mode_002dline-information-isn_0027t-always-up_002dto_002ddate.html)
     - [Maybe provide an alternative to VC's mode-line
       information](https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/2687)

1. How can I define my own mode-line?

   Use `doom-modeline-def-modeline` to define your own mode-line and set it as
   default.

   For example:
   - Define your custom doom-modeline

   ```emacs-lisp
   (doom-modeline-def-modeline 'my-simple-line
     '(bar matches buffer-info remote-host buffer-position parrot selection-info)
     '(misc-info minor-modes input-method buffer-encoding major-mode process vcs checker))
   ```

   - Set it to default using the `doom-modeline-mode-hook`:

   ```emacs-lisp
   (defun setup-custom-doom-modeline ()
     (doom-modeline-set-modeline 'my-simple-line 'default))

   (add-hook 'doom-modeline-mode-hook 'setup-custom-doom-modeline)
   ```
