Subject: bug#24236: 25.1.50; `substitute-command-keys', \{...}: optionally show menu items
Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2016 10:15:29 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f81a89db-38d8-4ce5-8c26-4b3f8c87c191@default> (raw)
Enhancement request.
Add an optional arg to `substitute-command-keys'. When present
(non-nil) it would cause \{...} to include menu items.
IOW, when `substitute-command-keys' makes use of `describe-bindings' (or
equivalent), if the optional arg is non-nil then it would use
`describe-buffer-bindings', in effect, passing it a non-nil MENUS
argument.
This gives callers of `substitute-command-keys' the possibility of
including menu items in a listing of keymap bindings.
In particular, it lets them show keys that are conditionally bound to
commands in a given map - bindings that are defined using `menu-item'
with a :filter - keys, such as this:
(define-key some-map (kbd "some-keys")
'(menu-item "" nil
:filter (lambda (&rest _)
(and (some-condition) #'some-command))))
Such conditional bindings are typically made for keyboard keys. But the
fact that they make use of an Emacs-Lisp idiom that defines them using
`menu-item' means that `substitute-command-keys' always filters them
out. It should be possible to prevent filtering them out.
(If things like `substitute-command-keys', `describe-bindings', and
`describe-buffer-bindings' were defined in Lisp and not C, Lisp users
could themselves take care of such a request. Please consider moving
such things to Lisp, unless there is a real reason they need to be in C.
I don't imagine that performance is a real reason in this case,
nowadays.)
