rich-minority-mode
══════════════════

  Emacs package for hiding and/or highlighting the list of minor-modes
  in the mode-line.


Usage
─────

  To activate the enrichment of your minor-modes list, call `M-x
  rich-minority-mode', or add this to your init file:

  ┌────
  │ (rich-minority-mode 1)
  └────

  By default, this has a couple of small effects (provided as examples)
  it is up to you to customize it to your liking with the following
  three variables:

  `rm-blacklist'
        List of minor mode names that will be hidden from the
        minor-modes list. Use this to hide *only* a few modes that are
        always active and don’t really contribute information. eg:
  ┌────
  │ (setq rm-blacklist
  │       (format "^ \\(%s\\)$"
  │ 	      (mapconcat #'identity
  │ 			 '("Fly.*" "Projectile.*" "PgLn")
  │ 			 "\\|")))
  └────
  `rm-whitelist'
        List of minor mode names that are allowed on the minor-modes
        list. Use this to hide *all but* a few modes.
  `rm-text-properties'
        List text properties to apply to each minor-mode lighter. For
        instance, by default we highlight `Ovwrt' with a red face, so
        you always know if you’re in `overwrite-mode'.


Comparison to Diminish
──────────────────────

  Diminish is an established player in the mode-line world, who also
  handles the minor-modes list. What can rich-minority /offer in
  contrast/?

  • rich-minority is more versatile:
    1. It accepts *regexps*, instead of having to specify each
       minor-mode individually; That is, where in diminish.el you would
       do this:
       ┌────
       │ (diminish 'auto-fill-function)
       └────
       rich-minority does this:
       ┌────
       │ (add-to-list " Fill" 'rm-blacklist)
       └────
       where `" Fill"' could be any regular expression.
    2. It also offers a *whitelist* behaviour, in addition to the
       blacklist;
    3. It supports *highlighting* specific minor-modes with completely
       arbitrary text properties.
  • rich-minority takes a cleaner, functional approach. It doesn’t hack
    into the `minor-mode-alist' variable.

  What is rich-minority /missing/?

  It just doesn’t have a quick and simple replacement functionality yet.
  However, you can set the `display' property of a minor-mode to
  whatever string you want and that will function as a replacement.


Installation
