Hello users of Imenu. I am using imenu to keep modules I write portable between XEmacs and GNU Emacs although I am not using GNU Emacs. Someone may still benefit from it. The problem: Using `imenu-generic-expression' to generate the menu (make-local-variable 'imenu-generic-expression) (setq imenu-generic-expression (list (list nil vb-function-definition-regexp 4) (list "goto LABEL" vb-label-goto-regexp 2) (list "LABEL:" vb-label-definition-regexp 1) (list "Constants" vb-constant-regexp 3) (list "Functions" vb-function-definition-regexp 4) (list "Properties" vb-property-definition-regexp 3) (list "Variables" vb-variable-regexp 3))) (imenu-add-to-menubar "Symbols")) I found menu splitting only to work on the top-level. While I would like to use a sub-menu for functions: (list "Functions" vb-function-definition-regexp 4) this menu does not split and I can only access those functions from the menu that fit on the screen. The top-level entry (list nil vb-function-definition-regexp 4) which I put in for testing purposes splits nicely according to imenu-max-items (25 by default), producing menu entries like: From: a> From: f> From: m> From: w> goto LABEL:> LABEL:> Constants> Functions> Properties> Variables> Can anyone tell me how to get entries under Functions> to split out as From: a> From: f> From: m> From: w> according to imenu-max-items? Thanks for any suggestions! Regards, Adrian
