I think this feature was taken over from old DOS-days. DOS programs were quite keyboardy, I'd say. And it actually is a nice way to make a lot of commands available via keyboard access without having the users to memorize endless lists of shortcuts or command names they use only once in a while. @OP: You can easily define your own menus (see :help menu) and set accelerators (simple insert a & before the character). This helped me a lot when beginning to use vim to collect shortcuts I learned in the menu. The menus are also available from the command-line (eg on a terminal) via the :emenu command. In the meantime I often hide the menu bar though (guioptions-=m). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
