Can this be added to the compilation buffer? #16

Is it possible to modify the mode line of the compilation buffer? Is there a generic mechanism, which is used to extend the mode line?

Hi @minad There's no config option for that. But simply calling the correct functions in compilation-mode hooks should be enough. Give this a try:

(add-hook 'compilation-start-hook #'spinner-start) (add-hook 'compilation-finish-functions (lambda (&rest _) (spinner-stop)))

Thank you, that works!
