 Here I set up the modeline with some information that I find useful. Specficially I am using the doom modeline. Most informations I disable for it, except for the cursor information (row + column) as well as a widget for =mu4e= and git information.

+I have found that the doom-modeline, while very useful, consumes too much screen space for my liking. This modeline takes a more minimalistic approach.
