I've been using Emacs since version 21.4 in 2005. I decided recently to try Emacs 23.1. I compiled and installed it correctly, but now there's a problem -- especially in text mode (e.g. emacs -nw). With Emacs 22, I can type "F10" and then "b" and I get the following in a window above the minibuffer: -------------------- screenshot---------------------------------------------------- File Edit Options Buffers Tools Minibuf Help ;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation. ;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f, ;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer. -uu1:---F1 *scratch* All L5 (Lisp Interaction)----6:01PM 0.41--------- Press PageUp key to reach this buffer from the minibuffer. Alternatively, you can use Up/Down keys (or your History keys) to change the item in the minibuffer, and press RET when you are done, or press the marked letters to pick up your choice. Type C-g or ESC ESC ESC to cancel. In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point. Possible completions are: c==>*Completions* *% s==>*scratch* b==>*Buffer List* % e==>emacs-windows-reference.txt -- .../emacs-reference/ E==>emacs-reference % -- .../emacs-reference/ h==>~ % -- /home/drew/ m==>*Messages* * n==>Next Buffer (C-x ) p==>Previous Buffer (C-x ) S==>Select Named Buffer... (C-x b) l==>List All Buffers (C-x C-b) -uu1:%*-F1 *Completions* All L1 (Completion List)----6:01PM 0.41--------- Select Buffer (up/down to change, PgUp to menu): c==>*Completions* *% -------------------- screenshot---------------------------------------------------- With that, I simply select the first letter of the buffer I want and Emacs switches to it and shows only the selected buffer. With Emacs 23, if I hit F10 and b I get this: -------------------- screenshot---------------------------------------------------- File Edit Options Buffers Tools Minibuf Help ;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation. ;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f, ;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer. -UU1:----F1 *scratch* All L5 (Lisp Interaction)----5:58PM 0.14-------- Press PageUp key to reach this buffer from the minibuffer. Alternatively, you can use Up/Down keys (or your History keys) to change the item in the minibuffer, and press RET when you are done, or press the marked letters to pick up your choice. Type C-g or ESC ESC ESC to cancel. In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point. Possible completions are: n==>Next Buffer p==>Previous Buffer s==>Select Named Buffer... l==>List All Buffers -UU1:%*--F1 *Completions* All L1 (Completion List)----5:58PM 0.14-------- Select Buffer (up/down to change, PgUp to menu): n==>Next Buffer -------------------- screenshot---------------------------------------------------- This is far less helpful. I then need to type l, which gives me the buffer list in the window. If I select a buffer, it switches to it, but leaves a split window. The non-menu equivalent is: C-x C-b C-x o C-x 1 There's simply no point in using the menu with Emacs 23. I much prefer F10 -> b -> , like I do with Emacs 22. So here are a couple of questions: 1) Is this a bug? This is a serious question. If it is, I'll be happy to report it. 2) If not, how do I restore the functionality from Emacs 22's menu bar's buffer menu to Emacs 23's? Thank you, Drew Ames
