Improve documentation on Segment Behaviour #18

Open domtronn opened 7 years ago

(Quoted @jwintz #7)

package icons shows up just fine after M-x package-refresh-contents, which makes sense, otherwise it would slow down the startup process ... text-scale works fine whenever you increase or decrease the text scale. By default the modeline does not render anything

domtronn commented 7 years ago

I have made a lot of design decisions around behaviour of segments, for example

As you've picked up on in your comment. I'd really like to set document these behaviours and nuances a bit better (maybe in a Wiki?) including pictures of the different icon sets as well, but it's a big task I just haven't picked up yet 🙂

jwintz commented 7 years ago

Totally agree with most of these choices

As for the file path, it might lead to a very large segments when project hierarchy has a huge subfolder depth. I would go for the file name only.

domtronn commented 7 years ago

The file path is a separate segment so you can turn it off entirely if you just want the file name 🙂 Ultimate flexibility!

Awesome :-)
