put modeline above helm header

[Fabian Braennstroem]

Hello,

is it possible to show the modeline just above the helm-buffer or inside the buffer above the helm-header?

At the moment, when showing several buffer at once, the helm-buffer might open just in the top right part of the window.

This makes it very difficult for me to follow my typing in the modeline.

Maybe there is a good option to use!?

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards

Fabian

Obviously I meant the minibuffer and not the modeline; sorry.

Try this:

(setq helm-echo-input-in-header-line t)
(helm-autoresize-mode -1)
(add-hook 'helm-minibuffer-set-up-hook 'helm-hide-minibuffer-maybe)

Hello Thierry,

thank you for the quick help!

Very nice! Is there an option which reduces the path length. For my small screen being in a long path, I could not see anymore the end where I am typing?

Best Regards

Not sure to understand what you mean, normally when typing you should
see only the end of what you type.

e.g for a long pattern longer than screen (cursor is "!"):

pattern: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

you should see when cursor is at end:

->aaaa!

Yes, this works for me only when I open the helm-buffer for one single large window. With multiple small windows this behavior does not work anymore.

Do you have an idea?
