When I first started using Emacs I found the menu bar useful for discovering features I had no idea existed. I quickly became fluent with the keyboard UI and can use that to explore the editor now, but it taught me not to underestimate menus. They might not be particularly useful, but they helped me find a few hidden gems.
- metaobject 10y agoThe first thing I put in a new config is to turn off menu-bar-mode, scroll-bar-mode, and tool-bar-mode. I find they take up too much screen real estate.
- jaccarmac 10y agoDon't get me wrong, I do exactly the same thing. I'm just against removing them wholesale since I think they are valuable aids to a user who doesn't know about creating a config at all yet.
