Re: emacs memu bars in linux console



Yes but that's not my point.  'F10' and 'M-`' exist and I use them :-)

To use emacs menu in console, this top menu line is really useless.  F10
works even after I killed this top menu line with "meta-x
menu-bar-mode".  I always wonder why do not they simply say "Press F10
for menu" or something reasonable and useful ???.

Rereading info page, it looks like the way RMS wants.  I can not argue
with him.

For me console screen is tight, so kill this useless line with "meta-x
menu-bar-mode" and use 'F10' anyway.  Nobody gave me convincing story
not to do this :-).
