Hi All,

I just wanted to provide an update. My system shutdown to due to an unexpected power outage in the neighborhood. Later on when power was restored I started up my system. I brought up DrRacket and the missing menu items were once again there. Strange indeed.

I had some strange issues trying to load Asumu's package in Racket 6.0.1. I was able to load it and see that it was loaded, but the Vim mode was not in the edit menu. I got it to work later, but my problem could have been that I was alternatively uninstalling and installing it in Racket 6.0 while doing the same in Racket 6.0.1. The package source was in the same directory both times which was outside the directory tree of either Racket version. Maybe there is something going on in the package build mechanism that is affecting what I was doing. I don't know.

Anyway.  Thanks.

Martin

Hi Asumu,

The strange thing was that it did not disappear immediately at first. The new menu item was there and so were the entries for the other two. But those other entries disappeared later. I did try some key combinations like ctrl-j, ctrl-k, command-j, and command-k. I was thinking that maybe I could move between the two panes in the DrRacket screen there. The command-j caused a window to scroll down from the top of the DrRacket window. Untitled was highlighted at top and there were cancel and ok buttons. The command-k stopped the evaluation thread so interactions were disabled.

Anyway, even when I repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled Racket, the menu items did not come back. I never reinstalled the vi package during all that time. So maybe there is a file somewhere that I need to delete when I do an uninstall.

It installed fine and the Vi mode was there. I tried it out and it seem to
work ok.  Then I noticed that for the DrRacket Menu selection for
Edit->Modes and Edit->Keybindings, there weren't any choices any more. I am
not sure what happened.  I then unistalled the pkg.
That's odd. I have the package installed too (I wrote it) and my
DrRacket still has those menu items. I'm on Linux though. AFAICT, I'm
not doing anything in the tool that would remove menu items.

It does add a menu item by overriding
`edit-menu:between-find-and-preferences`, but it does a super call so it
should be setting up other menu items too.

BTW, the tool source is here if anyone wants to check if I'm doing
something suspicious GUI-wise:

Cheers,
