<h1 id="toplevel-toc"><a name="toplevel" id="toplevel">XVile
Menus</a></h1>
<p>The Motif and Athena widget versions of xvile automatically
support user configurable menus.</p>
<h2 id="searchrules-toc"><a name="searchrules" id=
"searchrules">Search-Rules</a></h2>
<p>If the environment variable <a href=
"vile-hlp.html#env-XVILE_MENU">XVILE_MENU</a> is set, it contains
the name of the rc file. Otherwise, the name ".vilemenu" is used.
The name of the menu file is given in the variable "<a href=
"macros.html#modevar-menu-file">$menu-file</a>". If it is not
found, and is different from "vilemenu.rc", xvile looks for that
file in the list of directories given in "<a href=
"macros.html#modevar-startup-path">$startup-path</a>". The
"vilemenu.rc" file is treated specially because it is the file
installed from vile's distribution.</p>
<h2 id="format-toc"><a name="format" id="format">Format</a></h2>
<p>The file contains a series of lines whose first character
denotes the type of entry, subsequent fields delimited by
colon:</p>
<table border="0" summary="Command Prefixes">
<colgroup>
<col width="5%">
<col width="95%">
</colgroup>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><strong>C</strong> –</td>
<td>cascade (actually pulldown). One field only is
recognized, the menu heading.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><strong>B</strong> –</td>
<td>
button (menu entry). The first field is the menu label. The
second is the command which will be executed. If the
command is a number, it is expanded into the vile command
execute-macro-<number>.
<p>Besides the normal vile commands, the menu implements
the following</p>
<p>new_xvile – spawn a new copy of xvile.<br>
edit_rc – switch to a buffer with ".vilerc".<br>
parse_rc – source ".vilerc"<br>
edit_mrc – switch to a buffer with the menu rc file
which was found, e.g., "$menu-file" or "vilemenu.rc".</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>S</strong> –</td>
<td>separator</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><strong>L</strong> –</td>
<td>
list buffers. Each time you select this menu entry, vile
constructs a current list of the buffers, allowing you to
switch to any buffer by selecting it from the menu. It has
to be at the end of a menu, and only one is allowed.
<p>For the Motif version, the accelerators are constructed
to correspond with the vile commands for switching buffers,
e.g., _0, _1 ...</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>Lines beginning with '"' or ';' are ignored. character. Lines
beginning with '#', or text after a tab also are ignored, but we
may drop this feature at some point, to make it more consistent
with vile's macro files.</p>
<p>The special keyword "cmd" tells the menu function to invoke
the following keyword as a :-line command, so that commands which
must solicit input will work properly.</p>
