I am opening emacs in --no-window-system
mode and I switched xterm-mouse-mode
on. Mouse clicks within a buffer work. However, I want the menu at the top of the window to open when I click on it.
I.e., when I click on File
, I want the dropdown menu to show up the list with the options to open a file or to save the current buffer and so on.
What happens actually instead is that on the right half of the shell window a new buffer opens, showing a message like the one visible here: .
How can I get the menu bar at the top of emacs to work as I expect it? I want the ordinary behaviour from all other "normal" GUI editors, which do not operate on the command line. Thanks in advance!
