Cyphejor
This package shortens major mode names by using a set of user-defined rules.
Installation
The package is available via MELPA, so you can just type M-x package-install RET cyphejor RET.
If you would like to install the package manually, download or clone it and
put on Emacs' load-path. Then you can require it in your init file like
this:
(require 'cyphejor)Usage
First, you need to set the value of the variable cyphejor-rules. This
variable contains rules that are used to generate new names for major modes
from their symbol names, that is, values of the major-mode variable.
cyphejor-rules should be a list. Every element of the list should have the
following form:
(string replacement &rest parameters)where string is a word in the major mode's symbol name, replacement is a
string to be used instead of that word, parameters is a list that may
contain the following keywords:
:prefix—put the component at the beginning of the resulting string:postfix—put the component at the end of resulting string
The following keywords influence the algorithm in general:
-
:downcase—replace words that are not matched explicitly with their first letter downcased -
:upcase—replace words that are not matched explicitly with their first letter upcased
If nothing is specified, a word will be used unchanged, separated from other words with spaces if necessary.
Example of a setup:
(setq
cyphejor-rules
'(:upcase
("bookmark" "→")
("buffer" "β")
("diff" "Δ")
("dired" "δ")
("emacs" "ε")
("inferior" "i" :prefix)
("interaction" "i" :prefix)
("interactive" "i" :prefix)
("lisp" "λ" :postfix)
("menu" "▤" :postfix)
("mode" "")
("package" "↓")
("python" "π")
("shell" "sh" :postfix)
("text" "ξ")
("wdired" "↯δ")))cyphejor-mode can be enabled like this:
