Woudl that be possible to write "Bot" instead of "Bottom" when at the end of buffer ? ("Bottom" is too big realtive to allocated space)

This is a good concern, as it brings up a bigger issue. Depending on what info is displayed in the mode line, the bar will be of variable length. Do you have a lot of total characters combined for your filename, major mode, minor modes, version control, line/column number? If so, you'll run into this issue.

For example, this is ~550px width. If any of the sections or modes have any more characters, it will cut off the "Bottom" buffer space.

I'm inclined to leave it as-is because if you just make your Emacs window wider, the problem goes away. There is a reasonable minimum width we should accommodate though. Suggestions are welcomed for this!

Yep, you're right. My concern was mainly to have "Bot" because "Top" or "33%" are 3 characters wide. And I nver find the way to get "Bot" instead of "Bottom".

Feel free to close the issue.
