Things like the menu bar, > tool bar, etc. are already toggled using minor modes. What I have in mind is settings that have many possible values, and there's a way to select a new setting. It could be useful to have a general way to toggle between the last two values of the setting. One such thing is the selected buffer. Right now you toggle that with C-x b RET, which may be the shortest sequence of keys we can get, but you see what I mean. Another is the current input method. ISTR there is an ad-hoc command to reselect the previous input method. This is another thing that a general toggle could handle, and avoid the ad-hoc additional command. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
