Bibliography entry in the menu-bar

Bibliography entry in the menu-bar

[Sharon Kimble]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 526 bytes --]


I'm hoping that someone can help, but when I'm in a buffer of my
bibliography, there is a drop-down list in the menu-bar, of buffer
commands titled 'Entry-Types'. But what program puts it there?

I want to create a new command to an entry in it, but I don't know what
the originating program is. Can anyone help please?

Thanks
Sharon.

Hi Sharon

the menu is part of BibTeX-mode (https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BibTeX)

Thanks Simon, I've now been able to provide a key-sequence for 'Online
Resource' like so -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(global-set-key "\C-c C-e C-o" 'bibtex-Online)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

however, it is shown in the drop-down-menu of bibtex commands as

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Online Resource           C-c SPC C-e SPC C-o
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

How can I lose the 'SPC' in the drop-down list of commands please, so it
looks very similar to all the others?

Thanks
Sharon.

IIUC, you want to say

   (global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-e C-o") 'bibtex-Online)

(global-set-key "\C-c\C-e\C-o" 'bibtex-Online) should eliminate the spaces afaik

Bibliography entry in the menu-bar

[Sharon Kimble]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 533 bytes --]


I'm hoping that someone can help, but when I'm in a buffer of my
bibliography, there is a drop-down list in the menu-bar, of bibliography
commands, titled 'Entry-Types'. But what program belongs to it?

I want to create a new command to an entry in it, but I don't know what
the originating program is. Can anyone help please?

Thanks
Sharon.

As you know, when you enter an Emacs buffer,
Emacs enters a mode. In this case, it could be
bibtex-mode, the "[m]ajor mode for editing
BibTeX files." according to its
function docstring.

The menu is created in `bibtex.el`. Search for "easy-menu-define" 
to find the location. (`bibtex.el` doesn't use `easy-menu-define`, 
but it's mentioned in a comment where the menu is defined.)

However, modifying the menu will take some knowledge of Elisp. 
Besides, if you just want to add an entry type, modifying the menu 
yourself is the wrong way to go. You should customize 
`bibtex-BibTeX-entry-alist` or `bibtex-biblatex-entry-alist` 
instead.
