Not a direct answer to your two questions, but these might help - but they require loading additional libraries: 1. Icicles has lots and better menus http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsNewbieWithIcicles 2. LaCarte lets you access menus easily using keys. It makes it easy to see and navigate the menu hierarchy. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsNewbieWithIcicles#toc7 http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/LaCarte
