[Bug: 21.4.12] 'menu-accelerator-enabled' don't work properly

Wednesday, 30 April 2003

Hello everybody.

In order to remove menubar and disable it's accelerators
(so that i will be able to use accelerators' key bindings
for other things (like M-f, for example)), i added the following
code to my ~/.xemacs/init.el file:

(set-specifier menubar-visible-p nil)
(setq menu-accelerator-enabled 'menu-fallback)

The first line of code  works perfectly - after it's addition 
xemacs starts without menubar being visible, but menubar accelerators 
still work - i.e., when you press M-f, it opens "File" menu, though
according to documentation setting 'menu-accelerator-enabled' to
'menu-fallback' should disable that.

If i evaluate '(setq menu-accelerator-enabled 'menu-fallback)' 
interractively (C-x C-e) - accelerators stop working, as documented. 

Using 'setq-default' to set 'menu-accelerator-enabled'
(as was proposed by Stephen J. Turnbull as a possible solution)
has the same effect as using 'setq'.

Daniel.
