People respond to the questions they feel they can address, and
don't necessarily respond to the questions to which they feel they
can't provide a reasonable answer.
Having said that, one thought regarding question 2:
(2) How to make time up to the second in the message bar?
i assume you want the clock visually displaying each second as it
elapses. If so, this might not be straightforward, as the
mode-line is not updated on a regular schedule, but "when
appropriate" (e.g. point has been moved). So say the clock
displayed:
12:24:48
and nothing caused the mode-line to update for 10 seconds
(e.g. there was no buffer input), then the next mode-line update
would cause the clock to 'jump' to:
12:24:58
without having displayed the intervening seconds.
i guess you might be able to set up a timer to run every second to
deal with this; but more knowledgeable people than i on this list
would be better placed to discuss the feasability of that.
