doom-modeline

Build Status MELPA MELPA Stable License

A fancy and fast mode-line which was from DOOM Emacs, but it's more powerful and much faster.

It's integrated into Centaur Emacs 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 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
  • 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,

(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.

FAQ

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

    You need to add this configuration into your init file.

    ;; Dont 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.

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

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