Getting rid of GNU Emacs's menu bar in terminal windows
- by Ernest A
How to get rid of Emacs's menu bar in terminal windows?
The standard answer is to put
(when (not (display-graphic-p))
(menu-bar-mode -1))
in init.el. However, this solution is not good, because all it does is
remove the menu bar after the fact. You can still see it for a split
second. It's very annoying.
Looking at the source code in startup.el I don't see an obvious solution
to this problem. I think the only way is to use before-init-hook. Maybe
this could do the trick?
(add-hook 'before-init-hook
(lambda ()
(setq emacs-basic-display t)))
But this hook is run before init.el and other init files are evaluated, so
how is one supposed to use it?
