Hello all,
How can I move the currently clocked task to be on the left side
of my modeline in emacs?
Thanks,
--Nate

The way the information ends up in the mode line is a bit convoluted:
- The main variable is `mode-line-format': you should read its doc
string carefully.
- `mode-line-format' includes the variable `mode-line-misc-info'
towards the end.
- `mode-line-misc-info' includes the variable `global-mode-string'
(in a somewhat peculiar way that I don't quite understand).
- `org-clock-in', `org-clock-out' and `org-clock-cancel' affect the
mode line by modifying the `global-mode-string' variable to append
or delete `org-mode-line-string' to/from it and then forcing a
mode-line update with (drum roll) `force-mode-line-update'.
- The rest of the org mode code mucks around with `org-mode-line-string'
exclusively.
In short, there is no way to change the position of the currently
clocked task without rewriting code. You might be able to move
*all* of the org information by modifying an earlier mode-line
component (rather than `global-mode-string' which is part of the
final component). But it would not be trivial.

Thanks Nick,
Anyone else, I would like to hear how you can keep the currently clocked
task in plain site - I use MacOS and Linux, so if there's any OS-specific
status software that you recommend let me know.
Thanks,
