A fancy and fast mode-line which was from [DOOM
Emacs](https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/tree/master/modules/ui/doom-modeline),
but it's more powerful and 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 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`)
- 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 `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 debug state
- An indicator for current input method
- An indicator for `LSP` state
- An indicator for github notifications
- An indicator for buffer position which is compatible with `nyan-mode`
- An indicator for party parrot
- Truncated file name, file icon, buffer state and project name in buffer
  information segment, which is compatible with `projectile` and `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. Please refer to the

## 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 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.
