phil 94c7405838 Tweek the "no shortcut" code.
MC_NOSHORTKEY to NOSHORTCUT
   added option "shortcut" to menuc input language.
   added example of this kind of menu in testm.

hubertf 4e87e20dda Changes:
* bring closer to KNF
 * when selecting a item in a menu, call the opt_action() callback with
   a pointer to the struct menudesc, so the callback has a chance to find
   out which item was selected. Having a seperate callback for each
   item is ok for small menus, but not for ones with many objects.
 * Add menu-option MC_NOSHORTCUT to not print letters ("a: ", ...)
   in front of list items. Again, this is for menues with lots of entries
   as e.g. the upcoming sysinst set_timezone() function composes.
 * Fix a long-standing bug WRT pagewise scrolling - the cursor is now
   properly placed one page up/down

wiz 563d6ee1be Add format string to fprintf(). 2000-07-23 22:18:44 +00:00
cgd b12d2926fa provide a way to set the string used for the 'Exit' menu item. 1999-06-20 02:07:18 +00:00
cgd 96c4c464ea * be more descriptive with the windor/screen too small for menu messages
(say width or height).
* work harder to make menu fit width-wise.  (if necessary, move the menu
  further left, and if that's not good enough exit with an error.)
* move menu system initialization out of process_menu() so that it can
  be called earlier (e.g. by the sysinst main()), since it initializes
  curses and other code might want to access the curses data structures
  before process_menu() is invoked.
