A fast and fancy mode-line which is extracted from [DOOM
Emacs](https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/tree/master/modules/ui/doom-modeline),
but it provides more features and it's much faster.
It's integrated into [Centaur Emacs](https://github.com/seagle0128/.emacs.d) by
default.
## Feature
The `doom-modeline` was designed for minimalism and fast, and offers:
- A match count panel (for `anzu`, `iedit`, `multiple-cursors`, `symbol-overlay`,
`evil-search` and `evil-substitute`)
- An indicator for recording a macro
- Local `python`/`ruby`/`perl`/`go`/`elixir` version in the major-mode
- A customizable mode-line height (see `doom-modeline-height`)
- An error/warning count segment for `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 `evil` state
- An indicator for `god` state
- An indicator for `ryo-modal` state
- An indicator for `xah-fly-keys` state
- An indicator for remote host
- An indicator for current input method
- An indicator for `LSP` state
- Truncated file names, file icon, buffer state and project name in buffer
information segment, which is compatible with `projectile` or `project`
## Install
### Manual
From melpa, `M-x package-install RET doom-modeline RET`.
In `init.el`,
``` emacs-lisp
(require 'doom-modeline)
(doom-modeline-init)
```
### Use-package
``` emacs-lisp
(use-package doom-modeline
:ensure t
:defer t
:hook (after-init . doom-modeline-init))
```
This package requires the fonts included with `all-the-icons` to be installed.
Run `M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts` to do so.
Strongly recommend to use
[doom-themes](https://github.com/hlissner/emacs-doom-themes) at the same time.

``` emacs-lisp
;; How tall the mode-line should be (only respected in GUI Emacs).
(setq doom-modeline-height 25)
;; How wide the mode-line bar should be (only respected in GUI Emacs).
(setq doom-modeline-bar-width 3)
;; Determines the style used by `doom-modeline-buffer-file-name'.
;;
;; Given ~/Projects/FOSS/emacs/lisp/comint.el
;; truncate-upto-project => ~/P/F/emacs/lisp/comint.el
;; truncate-from-project => ~/Projects/FOSS/emacs/l/comint.el
;; truncate-with-project => emacs/l/comint.el
;; truncate-except-project => ~/P/F/emacs/l/comint.el
;; truncate-upto-root => ~/P/F/e/lisp/comint.el
;; truncate-all => ~/P/F/e/l/comint.el
;; relative-from-project => emacs/lisp/comint.el
;; relative-to-project => lisp/comint.el
;; file-name => comint.el
;; buffer-name => comint.el<2> (uniquify buffer name)
;;
;; If you are expereicing the laggy issue, especially while editing remote files
;; with tramp, please try `file-name' style.
;; Please refer to https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile/issues/657.
(setq doom-modeline-buffer-file-name-style 'truncate-upto-project)
;; What executable of Python will be used (if nil nothing will be showed).
(setq doom-modeline-python-executable "python")
;; Whether show `all-the-icons' or not (if nil nothing will be showed).
;; The icons may not be showed correctly on Windows. Disable to make it work.
(setq doom-modeline-icon t)
;; Whether show the icon for major mode. It should respect `doom-modeline-icon'.
(setq doom-modeline-major-mode-icon t)
;; Whether display minor modes or not. Non-nil to display in mode-line.
(setq doom-modeline-minor-modes nil)
;; Whether display perspective name or not. Non-nil to display in mode-line.
(setq doom-modeline-persp-name t)
;; Whether display `lsp' state or not. Non-nil to display in mode-line.
(setq doom-modeline-lsp t)
```
## FAQ
1. I am experiencing the laggy issue on Windows, how to resolve it?
You need to 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 `vc-follow-symlinks`.
