This thread comes in quite timely. I was wondering whether there is a 
way to avoid GUI dialogs completely, even when you trigger a 
functionality from the menu. Simple example would be 'File'->'Save as'. 
Hidden files and directories are much easier accessed from the 
minibuffer than from the GUI. So sometimes it's describe-key for the 
menu-entry and then M-x the function and that's a bit convoluted from 
the user point-of-view.


Thx, /PA

PS: This might be an RTFM, but I hope it gives you more input in your 
discussion.

btw in my case i am in either kb mode or gui mode; i do not combine
them as that is an accessibility issue.

btw there is at least one case where you want gui when you invoked the
command kb, and kb when you invoked it gui: type-break.el.  what it
/should/ do in its ... hook? is find out if you are /currently/ using
kb or gui, then match that.

i am not on the mailing list.  if anything significant, please cc me.
