Text mode menu wishlist

[Sacha Chua]

The EmacsWiki has a new node: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?TextMenu

---
We need a good replacement for tmm (f10) which does not confuse the
blind. A start is available as Lisp:textmenu.el. Read the
documentation for define-key and improve it.
---
Please define "confuse the blind." I need to know what people like or
don't like about tmm.el and textmenu.el. I have copious amounts of
free time and quite a great bit of interest in making this
work. Personal itches: changing keymaps and losing the ability to C-h
k.

I'd like to know people's thoughts on this. You can either add to the wiki,
post to emacs-devel or e-mail me directly, and I'll keep the wiki page updated. =)

People like me would like a simple buffer where we can use up and down
and RET to select a menu entry.  This can be done in Lisp and works
for me.

Other people would like to see "real" menus in the console, but that
requires messing with the C code.  The basic stuff is already there in
the MSDOS port (which has "real" menus), all we need is to do is port
that to curses or something.  I think this would also work for the
blind which will probably use emacs -nw anyway.  But it would not be
enough for me if I wanted to use a buffer-based menu eventhough I am
running X.

tmm does that, doesn't it? Or, well, it uses the history mechanism,
and you can pageup to get to the completion buffer...

I can start studying ncurses and the Emacs C code if people feel that this is
important enough. =)

What would an ideal buffer-based menu be for you?  Simple buffer, up
and down and ret, tab, mouse clicks, ability to go up to the parent
menu.. what else? =)

Um, emacs doesn't use curses.

You probably want to do this at the emacs glyph-matrix level.

I am definitely talking about text menus. =) I use emacspeak -nw often
(inside screen), and I rely on the keyboard a lot. Besides, how can I
use Emacs' funky mouse-friendly menus if I don't have graphical output
or an easy to use mouse? =)

Right now I'm studying textmenu and tmm, trying to figure out what
kind of a menu system I really want. I guess most people don't think
tmm is broken (it's actually quite nice), but I wonder if it can be
improved. I'll go into hermit mode now and experiment with ways to do
so. Thanks for the input, and feel free to send more suggestions!

I think tmm is `broken' too, because:

(1) It operates differently from other menus so it's bound to confuse
    beginners.

(2) Even once I got used to it a bit, I still found it very awkward to use:

    (a) Moving between menus and sub-menus (it just replaces the contents of
    	the `menu buffer') is way too heavy-weight. A typical drop-down menu
    	implementation allows you to quickly scan through submenus seeing
    	what's there, while also preserving all the `parent context' for you
    	to see.

    (b) The arrangement of menu items in the buffer seems often hard to read
        quickly.

    (c) I find the way the user-input (in the minibuffer) works annoying.  I
	don't really like using completion when choosing from a small set of
	displayed items (because doing so requires me to stop and think about
	which key to type corresponds to which displayed), I'd rather just
	select directly from the list.  You can scroll through the list in
	the minibuffer using direction keys, but the `disconnected' nature of
	it makes this awkward; it would be _much_ better to just manipulate a
	cursor in the displayed list directly (you can do this sort of by
	switching to the menu-window, but (1) that's an irritating extra step
	you have to take, and (2) moving between menu-items once you're there
	is still slow and clumsy [e.g., the huge initial comment that has to
	be skipped, the double-column arrangement of items]

    [I imagine that if you're using emacs-speak, BTW, you might disagree about
    some of this]

(3) It's ugly as hell.   Bleah.

Do you think it might be nice to have trees or outlines for menus,
like the way customize-browse does it? That seems like a fairly good
way of mimicking drop-down menus. Of course, there's something to be
said about native menus, but I think that native menus have been
discussed on this list before and there's probably a good reason why
we're still not using them.

tmm allows me to cycle through menu items in the minibuffer by
pressing the up and down arrow keys. This seems to make sense, and
it's actually quite usable with Emacspeak. I still don't like how
accelerators change if something gets added to the menu, and the fact
that there seems to be no easy way to go back to the previous menu,
but it's actually more usable than I thought.

It might be nice to see ido-like functionality in the menu, though. =)
That would be, like, fun!

    we're still not using them.

If "native menus" means displaying something on the tty that looks
like a pull-down menu and letting the user move through it,
the reason we are not using them is that nobody has implemented them.
We would definitely like to switch to them, but it takes work,
so the question is who wants to do the work.

I dunno wether it does.  I just tried it and indeed it seems to go
"up" in the menu.  But I find it confusing.  It was so confusing, in
fact, that I understood it only after you told me.  :)  Part of this
problem is perhaps the multi-column display, and the lack of a
"selection" in the buffer.  All the activity is in the minibuffer.

I think Mario Lang already has a bunch of mails talking about the
basics of this.  Perhaps he can give you some more information.

Hm, how would that work, as "next"?  I would not care about that (but

Not really -- if I expected that, I could have used the real menu.

I think this is the wrong thing to do.  As rms said, it's a
user-visible change that affects more than Ispell.  It breaks the
principle that Emacs tries to avoid losing information in coding
conversions (whereas XEmacs readily trashes data).  If something uses
one of these encodings incorrectly now you can't recover the data as
you used to be able to.

Anyhow, if the issue is just Ispell, it's definitely the wrong fix.
ispell.el and similar stuff shouldn't send un-encodable text in the
first place.  (If `?' happens to be one of the extra word characters
for Ispell, you'll lose anyway.)

With the development source, you can easily fix what Stefan complained
about as follows.  There's more to it than that, though -- see the
comment in the diff.  I haven't had time to sort that out, though I
did make changes to Flyspell along similar lines.  That's easier,
since Flyspell already works word-wise (roughly), but of course you
likely run into problems displaying the choices without multilingual
menus.

[If you really wanted to fix such a thing just with a coding system
change, you could set up a scratch coding system for the job or
temporarily set a coding system property around the process setup.]

By the way, ispell.el in CVS isn't up-to-date with Stevens' version.

I don't know how common, but for example: broken code (Gnus at times,
I'd bet) or customizations (select Latin-1 for your BBDB database) and
C-x RET c.  Basically whenever the coding system is actually specified
rather than selected from the set of somehow-preferred coding systems.

I don't think so.  That would amount to a significant overhead on all
i/o, since C-x RET c just amounts to binding
coding-system-for-{read,write} around the invocation of the command.
Perhaps you could special-case it somehow in interactive use, but the
issue is most relevant to the other case -- when data are written by a
program with an inappropriate coding system.  You presumably can't do
anything about it for process output anyhow.

Is anyone actually taking care of the issues in Ispell/Flyspell?

How about the attached change?  Shall I install it?

Notes on the change:

(1) I made a new variable coding-system-require-warning, and
universal-coding-system-argument binds it to t.

(2) If car of the arg DEFAULT-CODING-SYSTEM is t, it
indicates that select-safe-coding-system should not include
buffer-file-coding-system and most preferred coding system
in a list of coding systems tried by default.
Fwrite_region calls select-safe-coding-system in this way if
coding-system-require-warning is non-nil.

(3) Now a user can specify any coding system in
select-safe-coding-system on his risk.  At least, this is
necessary when an unsafe coding sysetm is specified by C-x
RET c.

    Notes on the change:

    (1) I made a new variable coding-system-require-warning, and
    universal-coding-system-argument binds it to t.

    (2) If car of the arg DEFAULT-CODING-SYSTEM is t, it
    indicates that select-safe-coding-system should not include
    buffer-file-coding-system and most preferred coding system
    in a list of coding systems tried by default.
    Fwrite_region calls select-safe-coding-system in this way if
    coding-system-require-warning is non-nil.

    (3) Now a user can specify any coding system in
    select-safe-coding-system on his risk.  At least, this is
    necessary when an unsafe coding sysetm is specified by C-x
    RET c.

I didn't have time to read the code (sorry), but that sounds ok to me.

ATTN:PRESIDENT/CEO. 

URGENT ASSISTANCE NEEDED 

My greetings. 

I know you will be amazed to read from me, but please 
consider this letter as a request from a widow in need 
of help. 

I am Mrs. Maria Kabila, the last wife of late 
President of Democratic Republic of Congo, Laurent 
Kabila. I, on behalf of El-faruk's family decided to 
solicit for assistance to transfer the sum of 
US$22,000,000.00 (Twenty-two million United States 
Dollars) to your personal account, believing that the 
funds will be saved in your bank account for my 
investment. 

This money was part of the fund secured by my late 
husband when he was still in power. As the wife he 
relied on me, my attention was drawn to this said 
amount of money in case of unforeseen circumstances. 
This fear was actualised on the 16th January 2001 when 
his bodyguard, Rasheed assassinated him. 

Please do not hesitate to contact my immediate brother 
El-Faruk jnr who is presently residing in Johannesburg, South Africa
through His private email address[el_faruk2001@yahoo.com] For more
information, because according to our culture here, I will morn my
husband for 24 months. Elfaruk jnr my brother will inform you of the
whole procedure, because I have give authorization to deal with you
on my behalf and on behalf of our family. He also has in his
possession all the necessary documentation relating to the funds. 

For your assistance, we have agreed to offer you 20% 
of the total amount, while 80% will be for our 
investment in your country. 

Finally, you are requested to maintain the secrecy of 
this proposal. God bless you abundantly. 

Yours truly, 

Maria Kabila

 STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL 
 
 The President/C.E.O.,
 
 Seeking for a Dedicated and Committed Partnership in a
 Business Proposal Worth US$26.5m. 
 
 Through some discreet inquiries from our Chambers of
 Commerce, you and your organization were revealed as
 being quite astute in private entrepreneur. On this on
 this premise, we have no doubt in your ability to
 handle a financial business of considerable
 amount,which will form the bedrock of an extensive
 business partnership in due course.
  
 In unfolding this proposal,I want to count on your
 status, as a respected executive of your company to
 believe that you will handle it with all sincerity and
 accord it absolute confidentiality that it deserves. 
 
 Being the secretary to the panel that is reviewing the
 award of past project that discovered this fund, I
 have been mandated to open a business relationship
 with you on this mutually beneficial opportunity. 
 
 This business involves the remittance of US$26.5
 million (Twenty Six Million, Five Hundred Thousand
 dollars) only into your bank account from our apex
 bank where this fund has been lying idle in a suspense
 account. The money accrued through deliberate
 over-invoicing of old project executed for the
 Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation by some
 foreign firms.
  
 We have worked out this scheme to benefit us along
 with any foreign partner who obliges us the 
 materials and channel to transfer out the fund into
 his/her nominated account with a view to traveling
 down to meet you thereafter so that we can have our
 share. 
 
 In the past, we did encounter a great loss from our
 previous experience with a Swiss who in trying to
 assist us suggested that the transfer should be done
 in three installments into his account.Together, we
 were able to transfer the first installment which was
 assumed to be a part payment of the contract sum
 amounting to US$8.625M (Eight million, six hundred and
 twenty five thousand dollars), into his account that
 he gave us.He however disappeared into thin air on our
 arrival at Zurich in Switzerland to collect our share.
 Series of attempt to contact him proved abortive and
 that is how we lost this whooping amount to the Swiss.
 
 We have now fully worked out the operational
 modalities to avoid any reoccurrence of such loss 
 and to forestall any hitch. If you would assist or
 participate in this deal, then please endeavor to get
 in touch with me immediately via my E-mail address as
 written above.
  
 In picking on you for this business, please note that
 your expertise has been taken into consideration, as
 you will be required to guide us through a wise
 investment of our share of the fund in a viable and
 profitable venture in your country. 
 
 In the world over, bigger firms who bid for various
 contracts especially in third world countries like
 ours can sub-contract some of them to other firms for
 execution. That is your firm will be regarded as one
 of those that executed one of such projects and
 therefore entitled to receive the contract value. Be
 rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free
 as there is actually no risk involved either now or in
 the future for we are well connected in official
 circle. Given our level of commitment at the moment,we
 want to assure you that with full dedication on your
 part, the objective of having this fund remitted would
 have been realized within a period of two weeks.
 
 It is hereby expressly agreed in principle that at the
 end of the transaction, you will be entitled to 20% of
 the entire sum, which you are free to withdraw as soon
 as you confirm that the fund has been remitted into
 your account. 
 
 I am awaiting your response most urgently whether you
 are interested or not to enable me know the next move
 to make.
 
 Contact me directly on my Email address if you are
 interested with your company name/address and your
 personal tel/fax numbers.I shall forward my home
 address,telephone and fax numbers to you once you
 confirm your interest in assisting us.
  
 Thanks.
  
 Yours sincerely,

Is there a reason why this-original-command, unlike this-command,
returns a non-nil value when no command is running?  The reason why
this originally annoyed me is no longer valid, so I do not need this
to be "fixed", but I thought that maybe it might just be due to an
oversight.  What about the patch below?  Grepping shows that
this-original-command, is only used in ido and cua.  Basically, I
believe that only Kim has ever used it.  What about the mini-patch
below?  I can install if desired.

Maybe because until now, I'm the only one(?) who has seriously used

Hi developers.

I translated GNU Emacs manual "The Emacs Edirot" from English to Japanese.

  Emacs-24.5: https://ayatakesi.github.io/#emacs-24.5-emacs
  Emacs-25.1: https://ayatakesi.github.io/#emacs-25.1-emacs

So, how should I take next action.
Submit it to somewhere, or else?
(Currently I am sharing it by GitHub.)

Any ideas?

Thanks.

This is a great contribution, Takesi, thank you! I'm not sure where other
languages go in our repository, since I don't see any others.

The only difficulty I can see will be maintaining this document to include
future changes, since few of us speak Japanese.

Hi Bastien,

I'm interested in taking 'charge' of maintenance of 'orgmode.org/worg'.

My whole life revolves around org files. I use it extensively for
personal knowledge management, appointments, lessons, project management using
TaskJuggler, Python development using literate-programming, private journals,
finance using ledger, pdfs with org-noter, org-roam etc.

Without a doubt, 'worg' has at times given me solutions which weren't
available anywhere else in the whole www. At the same time, it is very
easy to come across very outdated information over there, and certain other
pages are just a bunch of unrelated comments.

It would be an honour to be able to contribute by trying to make it more
relevant and useful for both new users and expert users alike. It is
indeed a massive repository of extremely useful information.

Kind regards,
Krupal

Re: none

[Bastien]

Hi Krupal,

thanks a lot for offering to maintain Worg!  Very much appreciated,
I'm confident this is very good news for anyone relying on Worg.

Please send me an email with the username you want for an account
on https://code.orgmode.org, I will then add you as a committer.

Best,

Subject: Load order for elisp files
User-agent: mu4e 1.2.0; emacs 28.0.50

I am trying to better understand the bootstrap process for Emacs and I
have run into a chicken and egg problem. When looking for where the
basic functions are defined, I can see that defmacro and defun are defined in
byte-run.el. However the code needed to evaluate a macro is in
backquote.el. But backquote.el uses defun, which is defined in
byte-run.el. Which of these files is loaded first, and how does Emacs
work around this apparent causality dilemma?

Hmm... no, the code in `backquote.el` is only used to macro expand uses
of backquotes (which are commonly used in macro definitions but not in
all of them) and `byte-run.el` is indeed careful not to use backquotes,
specifically because that would break the bootstrap.

IIRC there are cases where we rely on even more subtle details, more
specifically, I seem to remember that we have functions whose body uses
macros that aren't yet defined when we define the function, and this
still works OK because this is done at a stage where macro expansion is
still lazy, so the macros in the body of the function are only expanded
when the function gets called (or when it gets byte-compiled) both of
which "happen" to take place later, when the corresponding macros have
been defined.

byte-run.el does use backquotes

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/emacs-lisp/byte-run.el#n122

However I had not thought about the impacts of lazy evaluation. I guess
this would require that you load the code twice: First with the
interpreter, then with the byte compiler, since you can't compile a macro
that has not been defined.

Right [except evaluation is not lazy, only macro-expansion is].

Indeed: we first load the interpreted code when dumping the
`src/bootstrap-emacs` executable, which is then used to compile the
preloaded files (and the compiler), after which we load them again (but
in their compiled form) to dump the final `src/emacs` executable.

Note that lazy macro-expansion is only used for some of the preloaded
files (more specifically for those loaded before `macroexp.el` in
`lisp/loadup.el`, where you can also see some hackish workaround we have
to use at that time).

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 795 bytes --]

I was wondering if you could make the following improvement to
GNU Emacs: Make it so that fonts with a nil for background-colour
have the fontification of the inner symbols shines through
to appear over higher layers, like so:

*abc* is fontified as a blue foreground with nil background

"*abc*" is fontified in light blue background with a black foreground
but should appear with a light blue background and a blue foreground.

Here is the Elisp code that I want the behaviour of which changed:

(set-face-foreground 'dmp-face--fg:blue "#000")
(set-face-background 'dmp-face--fg:blue nil)

("\\*.*\\*" 0 'dmp-face--fg:blue t)

Change the `t` above to `prepend` or `append`.

Hi,

I also have this error for some hours now but a29a3ad55d does not seem
to be at fault.  I have the same error from building at 8e71e9b10333c.

I just did this; the name of the function was missing an "s", too.

Hello,

When I try to execute a block of PlantUML in an Org document, I get an
error message:

"org-babel-execute-src-block: No org-babel-execute function for plantuml!"




I have configured Org mode to enable execution of plantUML source block
by adding this in my init.el:

(setq plantuml-default-exec-mode 'executable)
(setq org-plantuml-exec-mode 'plantuml)
(add-to-list
 'org-babel-load-languages
 '(plantuml . t))




Here is an example of PlantUML block:
#+begin_src plantuml :file ./images/FPGA/DCC/
  @startuml
  robust "Signal DCC" as DCC_sign
  DCC_sign has +U,0,-U

  @DCC_sign
  0 is +U
  +58 is -U
  +58 is +U
  +100 is -U
  +100 is +U
  +100 is -U
  +100 is +U
  +58 is -U
  +58 is +U
  +100 is -U
  +100 is +U
  +58 is -U
  +58 is +U
  +58 is -U
  +58 is +U
  +100 is -U
  +100 is +U

  @enduml
#+end_src

My version of Org-mode is: 9.6.15


What did I miss ?

I don't have either of these setq lines but I do have:

(setq org-plantuml-jar-path (expand-file-name "/usr/share/plantuml/plantuml.jar"))

I'm not sure what those settings you have defined are meant to do.
