;;; Commentary:

;; Defines a minor mode which defines a menu bar item allowing a wide
;; range of maths/technical characters (roughly the LaTeX repertoire)
;; to be inserted into the buffer by selecting menu items.

;; Menu display only works properly under X with Gtk menus and if the
;; menu uses a font with a suitable repertoire.  (Lucid and Motif
;; toolkit menus can't display multilingual text.  I don't know about
;; MS Windows menus.)  It will work with tmm in tty mode iff the tty
;; displays Unicode.  The tmm version (via F10) is also useful under a
;; window system when the menus don't display the characters
;; correctly, but where the symbols have word syntax, tmm won't
;; provide an ASCII selector for them, which can be a pain to use
;; without a mouse.

;; See also the TeX and sgml Quail input modes.  These will probably
;; behave better if you can remember the input sequences.  For
;; instance, this minor mode won't give you the ability to insert into
;; the minibuffer via the menu, though presumably it could be added to
;; the minibuffer menu.

;;; Code:

(defun maths-menu-build-menu (spec)
  (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap "Characters")))
    (dolist (pane spec)
      (let* ((name (pop pane))
	     (pane-map (make-sparse-keymap name)))
	(define-key-after map (vector (intern name)) (cons name pane-map))
	(dolist (elt pane)
	  (define-key-after pane-map
	    (vector (intern (string (car elt)))) ; convenient unique symbol
	    (cons (format "%c  (%s)" (car elt) (cadr elt))
		  ;; Using a string here doesn't work.  You get a
		  ;; `Wrong type argument: commandp,' error.
		  ;; That looks like a bug, since
		  ;;   (commandp "a") => t
		  `(lambda ()
		     (interactive)
		     (insert ,(car elt))))))))
