Thanks for the explanation, updating it on every keystroke is indeed not very welcome on slow terminals.

Having some extra status information in the title bar might be nice, but I do not want to update the title bar for every keystroke.  Updating is fine for transitions that are relatively rare, like from unmodified to Modified, toggling the mark, or switching buffers, but not for every keystroke.

Also, the line number and column number can already be found out with ^C or --constantshow, or the line number with M-N or --linenumber.  So I do not want to have this information also in the title bar.

(What might be interesting, though, is to make --constantshow show more useful information.  Currently it shows far too much, and too verbosely.  It would be nice to have an option to make it show only: line number, column number, and the code of the character under the cursor.  And maybe at what percentage in the file the cursor is located.  Such a succint --constantshow I might want to use.)

I read that you are open to change the title bar, it would be nice to have a current row and column number in it.
