It's not buggy, it's just not customizable enough. I'm very sensitive
about what goes into my modeline. (and apparently I'm not alone)
I have in mind something like mode-line-format. So for instance, the
docstring would be something like:
"String containing a template for displaying mode line when clock is
active. The following %-constructs will be replaced:
%n -- the name of the task
%t -- time clocked into this task today
%c -- time clocked in the current instance of the clock
%a -- all time clocked for this task"
Plus there should probably be stuff about repeats and effort that I
don't understand because I don't use them.
Other emacs packages (for instance, gnus via gnus-group-line-format and
such variables) allow pretty much unlimited customization of these
format strings, so it makes sense that org does too.
But I'm realizing that even that is not sufficient for what I want. What
I really want is complete lisp control, with access to the time
clocked. For instance, I'd like to be able to display stuff like "Task1
: 00:24 today, 04:13 this week". Maybe a refactoring with more options
to org-clock-get-clocked-time (for instance, accepting the same :block
options as the clocktable) would be a good idea?
