doom-modeline

A fast and fancy mode-line which is extracted from DOOM Emacs, but it provides more features and it's much faster.

It's integrated into Centaur Emacs 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 remote host
• An indicator for current input method
• 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,

(require 'doom-modeline)
(doom-modeline-init)

Use-package

(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 at the same time.

FAQ

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

   You need to add this configuration into your init file.

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

2. 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.

   (setq find-file-visit-truename t)
   

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