20:39 UTC (new) (history) 2019-04-15 How to make a menu in Emacs . . . . Marcin Borkowski – As we all know, Emacs is so much more than just a text editor. There are quite a few serious applications written on top of it, like Org-mode or mu4e. And many applications – including those two – contain menus (the mu4e main menu or Org-mode’s exporting menu).
