Resending, since the release is now out.

From: Drew Adams Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2007 1:02 PM Consider as a possible enhancement somehow making the Minibuf menu-bar menu available also when the minibuffer is in a
standalone frame (frame parameter minibuffer has value `only').

Because the minibuffer maps are local maps, when you have a
standalone minibuffer frame, which has no menu-bar, the Minibuf
menu-bar menu is not available anywhere. (The other frames do
not have minibuffers, and their buffers do not have the
minibuffer map as local map.)

Perhaps menu Minibuf could somehow be made to appear in all frames that have a menu-bar, whenever the minibuffer is active.
I'm not sure how that might be implemented, because it is good
to keep the current situation of the minibuffer maps being
local to the minibuffer. But if a good implementation could be
found, it would be desirable to have the Minibuf menu available
also for users who have a standalone minibuffer.


Maybe as a popup menu bound to <apps> when the minibuffer is active?
