I don't think it is desirable to create menu items for a lot more
options unless we do it with something like tabs so as to make it
easier to manage them all.
I wonder if you misunderstood what I wrote or I misunderstand what you
wrote. My proposal (for after the release) was to add a _generic_ toggle
menu item, usable for any binary option.
That would _reduce_ the number of toggle items needed in the menu. At the
limit, this would be the _only_ toggle menu item needed, but it can be
useful to include a few commonly used toggle commands as menu items in their
own right. (I would give the user control over which other toggle items to
include, as I mentioned.)
Maybe we could have a tabs-based customization buffer
that is modeled more closely after the configuration facilities
of other programs.
That is something altogether different (orthogonal). A menu is for quick
toggling. Making the customization buffer tabs-based doesn't speak to the
same need, AFAICT.
