One more keyword in menus.

I would like a new keyword in menu items. :keys-sequence KEY-SEQUENCE KEY-SEQUENCE is nil or an equivalent keyboard binding for the menu item. I suspect XEmacs has no need for this as it computes the equivalent keyboard bindings fast enough. It would be enough for my purpose if XEmacs accepts the keyword in menus without protesting, it doesn't have to use it. The reason I want this keyword is to simplify things for easymenu.el. The problem is that Emacs takes long time to compute equivalent keyboard bindings. Emacs use a cache to speed things up, so this is a problem only the first time a menu is displayed. E.g. auctex menus take about 4 seconds to display on my machine. To speed things up, the new menu item format in Emacs understands the :key-sequence keyword and use the KEY-SEQUENCE to preload the cache. If this is used, auctex menus display in 0.45 seconds. To use this new menu item format, I suggest including :key-sequence keyword in the easymenu API. Up till now this API has been the XEmacs API, and it is clearly best to keep it that way. For this reason I suggest that XEmacs either use this keyword or just ignores it without protest. -- Inge Frick Tel: +46 8 7906956 Fax: +46 8 7900930 Postal address: Inge Frick, NADA, KTH, S-100 44 Stockholm, Sweden E-mail: inge(a)nada.kth.se WWW: http://www.nada.kth.se/~inge/
