For the vast majority of users, emacs is not their operating system, and such non-editing facilities don't need to be provided by their editor. For those who do use emacs as (a larger part of) their operating system, they typically want very specific things, and know how to assemble those things from the (many) parts emacs provides. For example, Ted Zlanatov was pushing forward an effort in this area: For some(including you), the header-line provides an easy way to meet your goals, but others, like Drew Adams, live in a very multi-frame world, and need different tools. There is interest in this area, especially if you're willing to work on the leading edge. Perhaps you should try either header-line-format or Ted's `Emacs as a Desktop Environment' idea and report back your experience with either/both. Hope that helps, *Chad |
