Yeah, of course this is *not* a function of the actual menu style -- one could "easily" add this information onto the Andrew menu string, and it might be a very good idea. I was talking about the basic interaction style. I, too, would like to see the keystrokes show up after the menu text. > One thing I find bad with Andrew menus (apart from the above) is the > sensitivity when moving the mouse to the left or right. This is probably > customizable, by I never figured out how to do it. Type "help cmenu" -- I think you want to add an "OverlapPct" customization to your .Xdefaults file. If you haven't read about it, you might also be interested in the "-m" option to the standard "xset" utility.
