RE: [h-e-w] Add items to menu-bar at specific location?

[Eli Daniel]

See define-key-after.  I add a "redo" entry, along with a menu separator
line, to the edit menu beneath "undo" like so:

(define-key-after
  (lookup-key global-map [menu-bar edit])
  [redo]
  '("Redo" . redo) 'undo)
(define-key-after
  (lookup-key global-map [menu-bar edit])
  [undo-seperator] '("--" . undo-seperator) 'redo)

This, or course, depends on having a command called `redo' defined already.

HTH.

Hello everyone,

I'd like to add items to the menu-bar at specific locations
in the menus (e.g. adding a entry to start ECB in the Tools
menu but not at the top of that menu), but my lisp-fu and
google-fu must not be beyond white-belt level, as I couldn't
find out how to do this - other than hacking menu-bar.el
which I'd rather not do).  The definition of define-key
implies that they can only be added to the top of the sparse
keymaps.  Is there a way to position or move a key
definition in the map so the menu item is placed where
desired?

Any advice, pointers to google on, etc., appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob
