Fwd: Menu :active tag

This makes submenus for each function (like "Copy to Register" or " Insert from Register) with entries for a bunch of different registers. Those use suffixes, etc. to preview the values for easy insertion/copying. From a tree perspective: |+Copy to Register || a (a contents) || b (b contents) |+Insert from Register || a (a contents) || b (b contents) etc. We were looking at using :active to disable the submenus for functions that need an active region, whenever the region isn't active. We can always use :included, but it seems more natural to have an entry there even if it's impossible to use. Thanks for the patches! I've got a few more old patches I want to You're welcome. We just happen to be poking in this section of the code right now. There was one thing I was wondering about when reading through the menubar.el. There's a lot of special-casing to handle the fact that the top-level menu doesn't have a leading string. Is there a good reason for this, other than just history? Ben and I were thinking about rehashing it to work with a leading string (probably just "") if that's something you guys would be interested in looking at. On the other hand, I don't know if there might be a lot of packages and whatnot that directly access the menu that such a change might break. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
