making menu changes more than buffer-local

steven Mitchell writes: One buffer. current-menubar is (often? usually? by-default?) buffer-local. Map over (list-buffers) is the only way to guarantee it since it may be buffer local. That's just the way buffer local variables work. But you may or may not want that. Many buffers are special (eg, dired) and you wouldn't want to pollute their menus with irrelevant or unusable code. (setq-default current-menubar) will do the trick in buffers without a buffer-local value. (setq-default current-menubar) will do the trick, but again in buffers that don't set a buffer-local value. I'm pretty sure it's just not possible to do this in general because of buffer-locals. It wouldn't really help much to make current-menubar a specifier, either, AFAICS. I think the best option would be to provide a hook in the default-menubar for your enhanced register menu, and use the enhanced menu if available, otherwise the default. You could also propose the enhanced menu as the default, but be prepared for extensive bikeshedding before it gets in. (Of course, it might obviously be a work of artistic genius and get waved right through. But "Be prepared!":-) _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
