Hi, list moderators. I'd like to submit a code to this mailing list without subscribing it.
Or, if you can forward the following to the list. Thanks a lot for keeping this list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Wishitem] Show the current node name in the header line (w/ sample implementation) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi. The following code shows the current "node name" (outline header name) in the emacs header line: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (defun org-mode-show-node-in-header () (setq header-line-format '(:eval (org-compute-node-name-for-header)))) (defun org-compute-node-name-for-header () (let ((level 0) cur (str "") (nodes (org-get-outline-path t))) (while nodes (unless (eq level 0) (setq str (concat str " "))) (setq cur (car nodes)) (put-text-property 0 (length cur) 'face (nth level org-level-faces) cur) (setq str (concat str cur)) (setq level (1+ level)) (setq nodes (cdr nodes))) str )) (add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'org-mode-show-node-in-header) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you like, adopt it for org-mode. Feel free to modify. Several things have to be considered. 1. It does not seem there's a fixed word for "node name" (outline headers). I know there's the function "org-get-outline-path". OTOH the info does never use the word "path" for this purpose. Nor does outline-mode (of Emacs.) 2. It's better to implement it as a minor mode. 3. In the header line, my code shows the node names concatenated by " " (a single space), but it can be turned into an option. Some people may prefer e.g. " > ". 4. I use org-level-faces. I think it's ok. If users don't like it, they can hack the code. 5. Maybe you want to ask emacs upstream to enable multiple headers / multiple-line header. (I'm sure then you'll throw yourself into a tough situation.) Sorry that I can't help with none of these issues. I got an inspiration of this post from https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/30901 , but I wrote the code on my own, so there is no copyright problem. Still you may want to check other answers there to improve this. Please cc: to me. I'm not subscribing the org mailing list. I'm so grateful for your work in org-mode. Best regards, Teika
