If a user wants to start a command like `C-x r b` I would like to change
the mode-line color after the `C-x`. I suppose that this may be a call
to a hook in the same place that updates the echo area inserting the
current prefix.
What would such a hook do to produce the effect that you want? The
mode-line color change will not be visible unless you force redisplay
of the mode line.
Hi Eli:
My question comes from the fact that I see the prefix in the echo area
and it looks inconspicuous. So, some redisplay is actually done
right?. I thought that a hook and let the user implement something could
work.
Something like:
(add-hook the-new-hook (lambda ()
(face-remap-add-relative 'mode-line :background some-color)))
And then call `face-remap-remove-relative` in the opposed|symmetric exit
hook... similar to what minibuffer-setup-hook/minibuffer-exit-hook do.
But I could be wrong.
Does it makes sense?
