** Mode line
The mode line is the little bar at the bottom of the buffer, just

The default mode-line is... disgusting. It displays information in an
unintelligible format and seems to smash together a bunch of
information without much care for ordering. Most heartbreaking is
-that any mode can just insert new information onto the mode-line
-without any purview, which can be really annoying. It's also very
-overstimulating.

I've got a custom Emacs lisp package
([[file:elisp/better-mode-line.el][here]]) which sets up the default
mode line as a set of 3 segments: left, centre and right. It pads out
