N Λ N O Modeline

Nano modeline is a minor mode for GNU/Emacs that modify the modeline as:

[ status | name (primary) secondary ]

It can be displayed at the bottom (mode-line) or at the top (header-line) depending on nano-modeline-position custom setting.

There are two sets of faces (for active and inactive modelines) that can be customized (M-x: customize-group + nano-modeline)

• nano-modeline-active / nano-modeline-inactive
• nano-modeline-active-name / nano-modeline-inactive-name
• nano-modeline-active-primary / nano-modeline-inactive-primary
• nano-modeline-active-secondary / nano-modeline-inactive-secondary
• nano-modeline-active-status-RO / nano-modeline-inactive-status-RO
• nano-modeline-active-status-RW / nano-modeline-inactive-status-RW
• nano-modeline-active-status-** / nano-modeline-inactive-status-**

Installation

Install with M-: (package-install 'nano-modeline)

Usage example:

Activate with M-x: nano-modeline-mode

Configure column and line numbers

Emacs comes with column-number-mode off by default.
If you would like to see the column number, turn it on with M-x: column-number-mode
Similarily, if you do not want to see the line number, turn it off with M-x: line-number-mode
