Outline-local Menus?

[tbp1...@gmail.com]

Is there a way to have a custom menu that appears only on one outline?  I know how to set up a custom menu in myLeoSettings.leo.  But if I try the same method in an outline, either the menu appears on all subsequently-opened outlines, or it does not appear at all, depending on whether it was defined in an @settings tree or not.

So far I've been making do with @button nodes, which are fine, but sometimes there get to be too many buttons and I'd like to get all the commands into a menu instead.  Some of these commands only make sense in the context of a specific outline or two.

FWIW I have vaguely wondered the same...

@button nodes can have @rclick child nodes, which add a context menu to the button they create.  Just in case you didn't know :)

I don't know of a way to make outline-local menus, however.

I don't think I know either :-) I do remember that there is some pretty hacky code involved in handling @menus and @menu.
