I would like to see some of the toolbar functionality available to text-only
terminals but do not want to do the work.
Is it a generally desirable feature and can I add it to TODO? My angle is
to improve Emacs capability as a debugger on a text-only terminal.
I don't see the point. People who use text-only terminals normally
do so because they prefer text commands.
There is no way to display images, so a "tool bar" would have to have
textual names, and then they might as well be in the menu bar. (A
menu bar item doesn't have to lead to a menu. It can execute a
command directly. Using submenus is just the usual practice.)
Either way, you would have to invoke them with keys. So why not just
bind the keys instead?
