hi all,

is there a reliable way to tell in elisp if a command was called from a menu?
commands such as find-file and y-or-n-p behave differently when called from a
menu (they use a popup window instead of the minibuffer) but it seems that the
relevant check is done in the C part of the source...

TIA

I believe you can do it the same way it is done in
ourcomments-M-x-menu-mode. It is in the file ourcomments-util.el in
nXhtml repository.

cool, thanks! i had found (member 'menu-bar last-nonmenu-event) myself, but i
suspect your way is better. (in fact, judging by the documentation, i think
last-nonmenu-event should be nil when a command is called from a menu, but
instead it seems to have the value (menu-bar)...)
