Subject: bug#52874: 26.3; Be able to keep current menu-bar menus when minibuffer is used
Date: Wed, 29 Dec 2021 16:37:36 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <SJ0PR10MB5488AB057F1B1B118F580839F3449@SJ0PR10MB5488.namprd10.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

When the minibuffer is used the menu-bar automatically changes to
provide menus appropriate for using the minbuffer.  This is a good
thing.

However, there can be use cases for keeping the menu-bar as it was
before the minbuffer was entered.  This can be the case if the
minibuffer is used to access menu-bar menu items (using completion, for
instance).  In such contexts it can make sense for the command reading
from the minibuffer to be able to keep the menu-bar as it was, so users
can see what the menu names are.

This enhancement request is to provide that possibility in Lisp - for
example by binding a global variable.
