In fact, the bmenu code in bookmarks.el is just about 700 lines, not very huge, so I considered writing it myself. However, later I thought that this would mean effectively duplicating a lot of code which might happen to be useful in other packages too. Are there some plans on creating a common bmenu library for Emacs? Perhaps it could also integrate with the menu-bar mode somehow (which would be less surprising for the users used to the Windows way of self-discovery). Or maybe such a library already exists? -- Your sincerely, Vladimir Nikishkin (MiEr, lockywolf) (Laptop)
