Subject: bug#44454: 26.3; Enhancement request: let :help in menus take a FORM arg, i.e., be eval'd
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2020 13:34:17 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <93a9e82b-3799-492f-9632-dfe61db9a7dd@default> (raw)
Enhancement request:
In extended menu items and the easy-menu stuff, the value of :help must
be a literal string. Consider perhaps letting it be a FORM, i.e., have
it be evaluated, like :visible and :enable.
It would be backward compatible. If you use a sexp now the result is
that you just don't get any help echo.
