I'd be grateful for a bit of guidance!
I am just reading about customising menus in emacs. I want to remove the
Buffers, Tools, Lisp-Interpreter, Help - to put it simply. I don't want all the
contents of File, Edit, Options really.
I was thinking of using EasyMenu due to it's name probably the best for me. But
I'm unsure about the main menu - I assume I leave (menu-bar-mode 0) in the
.emacs. I want to use both console and gui, but gui in the most basic form
using key shortcuts for most commands. Console for editing email and when I am
using cli but like the gui when I am looking through a load of files.
thanks
james

In your init file:
(define-key global-map [menu-bar buffer] nil)
(define-key global-map [menu-bar tools] nil)
(define-key global-map [menu-bar help-menu] nil)
Lisp-Interpreter is mode-specific. Find the major mode that uses it and
then remove it from that major-mode's keymap (instead of `global-map', as
above).

Look in file `menu-bar.el', find which menu items you want to remove, and set
those command bindings to nil.

Just as a site note: You can always bind the toggling of the menu to a
key enabling you to only make it visible when you need it.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(global-set-key (kbd "C-<f10>") 'menu-bar-mode)
#+END_SRC
HTH,

Alexander and Drew
Many thanks for you replies I will read further and investigate. I like emacs,
but it's 'big' and takes some learning.
