c'on! Last time I checked (2 seconds ago), Emacs' GUI has a "close" button in the top right. And a "File" menu at the top left with a "Quit" entry, that teaches you the shortcut (C-x C-c).
Emacs in the terminal (emacs -nw) doesn't have the top right button but still has the menu. We can't click it by default though. Use: F10, or M-x menu-bar-open, or M-x xterm-mouse-mode and click on it. https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Text_002dOnly-Mouse.html https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Te...
- tmtvl 4y agoMenu bars are the most amazing GUI paradigm ever invented and whenever I see an Emacs "distribution" which disables the menu bar it kind of feels to me like they would say things like "fire? We don't like that," or "the wheel? Not really a fan of that."
