Using dimminish with argument

[azzamsa]

I think we can use :diminish " ⚡" rather than to have diminish and delight together :)

Thank you for the suggestion. I always thought I had to use diminish if I wanted to hide a particular mode in the mode line and delight to replace the string representation of this mode.

By only using diminish, I don't always have the expected behavior.

For instance, this doesn't work with my config file:

(use-package org :diminish "Θ ") 

Indeed, I still have Org for the string representation of org-mode, but with delight I can change it:

(use-package org :delight "Θ ") 

As a result, I removed diminish and kept delight in the config file, which allows me to hide a mode and change its representation.

Thank you again for pointing this out to me ☺️

I never try diminish with org-mode. But the following mode works well for me.

core/aza-ui.el:52:  :diminish beacon-mode
core/aza-ui.el:61:  :diminish which-key-mode
init.el:110:(diminish 'auto-revert-mode)
init.el:149:(use-package diminish
init.el:155:  :diminish " P"

init.el:191:  :diminish " ⚡"
init.el:202:  :diminish
init.el:211:  :diminish undo-tree-mode

I think diminish works for you because you only use it for minor modes. When I test diminish for minors modes, I see that I can hide and change the string representation of a particular minor mode (List of major and minor modes).

On the other hand, delight seems to work for minors and major mode and also allows you to hide and modify the string representation of a mode.

I have always had trouble differentiating between the interest of using diminish rather than delight and vice versa. I read again the use-package documentation about that and it does not help me to understand the difference in this situation ☺️

Oh thanks. Today I learn.

Same here. I think our best decision is to use what works best for us :)

By the way. Thanks lot for your config. I learn a lot. Mostly about :hook and ob-languages. When I use ob-languages with use-packages, my emacs start blazing fassst.
