     14 ;;; Commentary:
     15 ;; This is basically what dmenu does, but then in emacs. There is a function 'all-commands'
     16 ;; that gets you all the commands that are on your system. If you instead want to use emenu
     17 ;; on a different list of strings, you can just pass that list to emenu itself and it will
     18 ;; let you select something yourself
