Hemlock provides a number of facilities for displaying information and prompting the user for it. Most of these work through a small window displayed at the bottom of the screen. This is called the echo area and is supported by a buffer and a window. This buffer's modeline (see section 3.3) is referred to as the status line, which, unlike other buffers' modelines, is used to show general status about the editor, Lisp, or world. [annotate]
This is the initial list of modeline-field objects stored in the echo area buffer. [annotate] |
This variable determines the initial height in lines of the echo area window. [annotate] |
