Re: [MACTCL] menubar steals keyboard focus, but bindings don't work

[Hans-Christoph S. <ha...@at...>]

That script works fine for me on Mac OS X 10.5.8 using the built-in  
8.5.7, and my own 8.5.8 build.  My problem seems to be different.

I remember once reading about how the menubar can be setup so that it  
automatically flashes with an accelerator is pressed, i.e. if you hit  
Cmd-C, the "Edit" menu will flash.  Since this is what is happening to  
me, I'd like to read up on that again.  It was something like you need  
to finish configuring the menubar before attaching it to a toplevel,  
or vice-versa.

Now I can't find the reference on that, any ideas or pointers?
