Issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

delight does not for major modes.

Example:

(use-package org
  :ensure nil
  :delight)

Keeps Org in the modeline.

None of these work with doom-modeline either:

(use-package delight
  :ensure t
  :config
  (delight '(
             (projectile-mode nil)
             (sh-mode " sh " "Shell-script[bash]")
             (org-mode "" "Org")
             (Org-Src "" "OrgSrc")
             (overwrite-mode " Ovl" t)
             (special-mode " special" "special")
             (message-mode " messages" "Messages")
             (markdown-mode " md" "Markdown")
             (emacs-lisp-mode "" "*Org.**")
             (fundamental-mode " fund" "Fundamental")
             (web-mode " web" "Web")
             (undo-tree-mode " " "Undo-Tree")
             (super-save-mode "" "super-save")
             (counsel-mode "" "counsel")
             (abbrev-mode "" "Abbrev")
             (evil-org-mode "" " EvilOrg")
             (elmacro-mode " " "elmacro")
             (ivy-mode "" "ivy")
             (python-mode " Py" " Python")
             (emacs-lisp-mode " elisp" "Emacs-Lisp")
             (lisp-interaction-mode " lisp int" "Lisp Interaction"))))

Describe the solution you'd like

For delight to work with doom-modeline.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I also tried the package rich-minority.

Yes, supporting delight directly solves the issue.

According to the codes, delight advices format-mode-line which is really tricky for mode-name. powerline is also incompatible with it.

Now I am trying to avoid using format-mode-line for major-mode and minor-mode-alist. Please test the new version.

[alienbogart]

Thank you but I'm not sure I understand. What you mean by "test the new version"? I updated all my packages and it still doesn't work:

• doom-modeline: 20190801.1802
• delight: 1.5

[seagle0128]

I committed a new change with another solution. Please test.

Was it submited on Melpa or just here on the repository?

[alienbogart]

Okay, it's working flawlessly now. Thank you very much!
