Which leads you to mode-line-format, which leads you to mode-line-buffer-identification:
,----
| mode-line-buffer-identification's value is shown below.
|
| Documentation:
| Mode-line control for identifying the buffer being displayed.
| Its default value is ("%12b").
| Major modes that edit things other than ordinary files may change this
| (e.g. Info, Dired,...)
|
| Defined in `bindings'.
|
| Value:
| (#("%12b" 0 4
| (face
| (:weight bold)
| help-echo "mouse-1: previous buffer, mouse-3: next buffer" local-map
| (keymap
| (header-line keymap
| (mouse-3 . mode-line-bury-buffer)
| (down-mouse-3 . ignore)
| (mouse-1 . mode-line-unbury-buffer)
| (down-mouse-1 . ignore))
| (mode-line keymap
| (mouse-3 . mode-line-bury-buffer)
| (mouse-1 . mode-line-unbury-buffer)
| (down-mouse-1 . ignore))))))
`----If you do the obvious thing
(setq mode-line-buffer-identification
'(buffer-file-name "%12f" "%12b"))I suspect you'll lose all those useful text properties (not to mention it's a buffer-local variable, but not documented as such). But bindings.el shows how to do it right:
(setq-default mode-line-buffer-identification
(list 'buffer-file-name
(propertized-buffer-identification "%12f")
(propertized-buffer-identification "%12b")))Another alternative is to change the way buffers are named, to include enough parts of the directory to keep them distinct:
(require 'uniquify) (setq uniquify-buffer-name-style 'forward)
