Lorenzo Donati: > I would suggest to change SciTE interface to allow submenus in the language menu, so that often-used languages can stay in the main menu and lesser-used ones could go in one or more submenus. Extra levels of menus become progressively more difficult to use. The file type pull-down in the Open dialog is even more of a problem than the Language menu. It can’t (without unreasonable effort) be made hierarchical. > This could be implemented using some extra config keys, for example like this: > > menu.language.submenu1.name=<submenu #1 name> > menu.language.submenu1=<submenu #1 definition> This also requires activating each language module (by changing imports.exclude or imports.include) as the modules are needed to provide the styles and keywords, etc. for each language. Otherwise the menu items will have no effect. Currently, all active languages are scanned for their ‘*language.’ properties which are collected into the Language menu with "menu.language=$(star *language.)”. For this scheme to be useful, it needs a simple mechanism to exclude items from the main Language menu. All the language extensions from menu.language.submenu? could be collected and removed from the main language menu but that goes against > BTW, duplicated entries should be allowed Neil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "scite-interest" group.
