This package allows to shorten major mode names using a set of user-defined rules.
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)It's available via MELPA, so you can just M-x package-install RET cyphejor RET.
First you need to set value of the variable cyphejor-rules. This variable
contains rules that the package uses to generate new names for major modes
from their symbol names (values of major-mode variable).
Value of 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 major mode symbol name, replacement is
another string to be used instead, parameters is a list that may be empty
but may have the following keywords in it as well:
:prefix—put it in the beginning of result string:postfix—put it in the end of result string
Apart from elements of the form described above the following keywords are allowed (they influence the algorithm in general):
-
:downcase—replace words that are not specified explicitly with their first letter downcased -
:upcase—replace words that are not specified 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")))Next, just enable cyphejor-mode in your configuration file:
(cyphejor-mode 1)Access the customization interface via M-x customize-group cyphejor RET.
