Thank you for your continued work on =3Dproject.el=3D.
I=E2=80=99d like to suggest a small usability improvement related to =
commit
=
[[https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=3D86e17fbcbddb57b=
0653b7046202e54624c477836][86e17fbcbddb]],
which modified the prompt shown when invoking =3Dproject-switch-project=3D=
:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq choice (read-key-sequence (concat
(if dir
(format-message "Command in `%s': "
(propertize dir 'face 'font-lock-string-face))
"Command: ")
prompt)))
#+end_src
=3Dproject-switch-project=3D. Specifically, this part:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq choice (read-key-sequence (concat
(if dir
(format-message "Command in `%s': "
(propertize dir 'face 'font-lock-string-face))
"Command: ")
prompt)))
#+end_src
While I appreciate the intention of giving more context by showing the
current project path, in practice, the dynamic length of this path
shifts the position of the command hints in the minibuffer. This causes
a jarring and inconsistent experience every time I switch projects. This
happens especially for projects with longer paths, where the options
appear far to the right or wrapped in a new line at some random
position.
Would it be possible to make this message:
- Optional via a user-facing variable, or
- Customizable (e.g., via a custom formatting function or hook)?
I think this would provide a more stable and predictable UI, while still
preserving the enhanced context for users who want it.
Thanks again for your time and consideration!
Best regards, =20
