64: How do I delete menus and menu options? The simplest way to remove a menu is to set its keymap to nil. For example, to delete the "Words" menu (from question 63), use: (define-key global-map [menu-bar words] nil) Similarly, removing a menu option requires redefining a keymap entry to nil. For example, to delete the "Forward word" menu option from the "Edit" menu (we added it in question 63), use: (define-key global-map [menu-bar edit forward] nil)
