Subject: menu bar conventions

Message-ID: <18658.1134766311@olgas.newt.com> (raw)

I just wanted to confirm that one use should use "menu bar" in text and
"...menu-bar..." in code (rather than "menubar" in both cases).

While it's pointless to change the usage throughout Emacs, being
consistent within the menu bar code and manual itself is probably a good
idea. I see the following in the Menu Bar chapter in the manual:

     On text-only terminals with no mouse, you can use the menu bar by
  typing `M-`' or <F10> (these run the command `tmm-menubar').  This
                                                    ^^^^^^^  
And this in a comment in menu-bar.el:

  (defun kill-this-buffer ()      ; for the menubar
                                            ^^^^^^^
I fixed the latter.
