I think the convention is to use ellipsis only for menu entries and only then for menu entries that expect input from the user via the minibuffer/popup. Is that right?=20=20 Personally, I think "Toggle" is a bit of a vague label for a menu. Maybe "Options"? Ymmv. While I'm at it, the submenu itself could do with some tooltips: - "Syntactic indentation": maybe self explanatory enough. - "Electric mode": ISTR the convention is not to use the word "mode" in the menus, but "electric" in particular will surely baffle some people. Maybe rename it "Auto indentation" with a tooltip to explain when it occurs? - "Auto newline": maybe a tooltip to explain when it occurs? - "Hungry delete": maybe self explanatory enough. - "Subword mode": as above for the use of "mode". A cool feature I only found today. Maybe rename it "Case-Insensitive Motion" with reversed logic? (To match "Options | Case-Insensitive Search".) And maybe the submenu itself could do with a "Save Options"?=20=20 Simon. "Misys" is the trade name for Misys plc (registered in England and Wales).= Registration Number: 01360027.
