Well, when I came to Vim I was still on Windows most of the time, and
there I discovered that Vim had that novelty of tear-off menus. So I
used them occasionally. Still now I have the t flag as part of my
'guioptions' (it is part of the default but I set it from scratch,
if has('gui_running')
set guioptions=cgimrLtTp
" ...
endif
) so I wouldn't be annoyed by a change in defaults: I would still have
them. I suppose other people might bitterly miss them though.
Bram, let me point out that with go+=t you _can_ tear off the menus,
you don't _have_ to. If you don't, there is a thin dashed line at the
top of them (which IMHO is no great trouble) in GUIs which support
them, that's all. So I would venture that go+=t would be less of a
bother to people not using tear-off menus, or to most of them, than
go-=t to people using them constantly (and setting their 'guioptions'
by += and -=, relying on the default to set tearoffs).
BTW, the help says tearoff menus are supported on "Win32, GTK and
Motif". Not on Mac? (I know MacVim is a bit of a fork though, so maybe
this question is off-topic for this group.)
Best regards,
Tony.
