This is exactly what accelerate-menu does, with the added feature that the File menu (ie, the first menubar item) is preselected so that you can type either f or RET to drop it down.

F11 activates, single letters and digits (also arrow keys and RET) navigate thereafter, no meta-chords needed. Kai> Am I misunderstanding something? Only that I didn't say anything further about the accelerate-menu interface beyond it being one-shot; all the rest referred to the "permanent" meta-chord interface. That wasn't at all clear from the way I wrote it. A presentation flaw, rather than your misunderstanding. --=20 Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac= .jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JA= PAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
