Re: Patches to split the Options/Font menu based on the first char

If you're talking about the way it splits buffers into categories, I don't call this a "way of adressing the problem". If you happen to have many buffers in the misc submenu for instance, you'll get the problem. Tudor> menus anyway. It doesn't make much sense to have a menu with more than a dozen entries, or one or two sub menus in general.

But still, a gtk port doesn't mean that we'll get rid of the other ports that we have already, and not all of them have this feature. So I still think that it would be good to have this feature in Lisp. However, package authors shouldn't have to deal with it by hand, so something like an implicit filter would be nice. -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / E.N.S.T.
