That fills the gap. Thanks. 3' Added popup menu for major mode. I introduced just another popup menu for major mode. I see you added a menu for major modes and also did what I suggested--to add a mouse command (which you put in the menu) to describe a minor mode or a major mode. What I was thinking of was to put the "describe" command on mouse-1 or mouse-2 rather than to put it in the menu. As for whether a major mode menu is useful, the question is, what major modes would we put in it? One obvious answer is "all of them", but there are too many.
