The simplest way to remove a menu is to set its keymap to ‘nil’. For example, to delete the ‘Words’ menu (see How can I create or modify new pull-down menu options?), 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 How can I create or modify new pull-down menu options?), use:
(define-key global-map [menu-bar edit forward] nil)
