To save screen space, I also turn off the menu bar. Sometimes however, I like to use the menu when I'm in an unfamiliar mode. In such cases, I use F10 to get the tmm-menubar. I'm not really a fan of the interface. Yesterday I found there is a nice menu (maybe based on overlays). Sadly this only works with menu-bar-mode on. When running Emacs with a gui, I can access menus even with the menu bar off by middle clicking in the buffer, I was wondering if something similar is possible in no window mode. Thanks for any ideas. Cheers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
