The C and C++ submenus are named "Toggle...". I think the convention is
to use ellipsis only for menu entries and only then for menu entries
that expect input from the user via the minibuffer/popup. Is that
right?
Personally, I think "Toggle" is a bit of a vague label for a menu.
Maybe "Options"? Ymmv.
While I'm at it, the submenu itself could do with some tooltips:
- "Syntactic indentation": maybe self explanatory enough.
- "Electric mode": ISTR the convention is not to use the word "mode" in
the menus, but "electric" in particular will surely baffle some people.
Maybe rename it "Auto indentation" with a tooltip to explain when it
occurs?
- "Auto newline": maybe a tooltip to explain when it occurs?
- "Hungry delete": maybe self explanatory enough.
- "Subword mode": as above for the use of "mode". A cool feature I only
found today. Maybe rename it "Case-Insensitive Motion" with reversed
logic? (To match "Options | Case-Insensitive Search".)
And maybe the submenu itself could do with a "Save Options"?
