Yepp, it can't saved in a buffer-local before the buffer is created.

Menu should and application should be separated in my eyes. Menu is just a
graphical/audio? presentation of selectable choice to the user. As such it
should display choices, let user pick a choice, and return to the application
the picked choice. Compare to completing-read, or org-mks. I don't think we
should mingle application states and menu states.
However, there is a slight complication compared to completing-read or org-mks
in regard that those are used to make only one selection and exit, while this
menu is supposed to be used that way, or to be used in a way that it survives
multiple selections.
To me this seems as clearly per menu entry behaviour. For exmaple in org-agenda
menu, some actions will make menu exit, while some will keep the menu alive (for
example '*'). One solution is to have some flag passed per entry to signal to
the menu to kill itself upon selection. The other one, the easier, is to let the
applicaiton code handle the menu kill. I took the second one to minimize on
number of flags that needs to be passed and documented, but I agree it is not
the cleanest way, so I can change to use a flag if it is considered a better
option.

Yes, please, lets try to minimize number of globals. Actually I would be
happiest with a functional approach where everything is communicated via
function arguments and return values.

We are using list to pass both menus and menu entries. Application can stick in
some args used by the menu.

I don't think it is the topic and scope of this menu. It would be another layer
on its own, and definitely another project, I think.

I definitely agree. Designing a good API is hard. I personally always think that
frameworks should not be designed in advance. I am more of a pragmatic, and
prefer to see actual working use-cases and design a framework after the
experience, not try to desing a framework by guessing the potential
use-cases. That is why I said that I am not interested in turning this into a
framework. I have try to design here something that can be used to implement
existing org-capture, org-agenda & co on top of it.

Menu entries (lists)

Still have to be worked on.

That would be some framework layer.

It's lisp, anything is possible ^^ ;-).
No, but serioiusly, there is not much of extension points here. It is a keymap
and buffer text generated automatically from a list of templates and few
"visual" options. An application can even discard entire buffer and draw its own
text out of templates as it pleases, it wouldn't matter.
My goal was to create something very simple to use from a programming
perspective. Compared to other similar options like make-help-screen and org-mks
this puts both key handling, actions and labels into same spot, so there is only
one place to maintain later on, and client code needs needs just to specify the
most minimal lisp one is interested to execute, ie. I don't need to create
lambdas if some function is not already defined. Sort of, that is how at least I
would like to use it. I don't know if that is good or bad practice, or how
robust the code is, I am not super familiar with lisp and org-mode to be honest.
Attached is another experiment. In this version each entry can have attached
handler, and I provide two simple handers: run-once and run-multiple times. For
applications that need more advanced handling, they are supposed to provide own
handler and to take care of killing the menu buffer.
I do have thoughts to rework the drawing code once more to allow entries in form
of: (:separator sepeartor-string), similar as it takes group entries for
submenus. It would allow for mixing horizontal and vertical layouts, but I am
not sure if that is a good feature to have. It certainly isn't needed.
I have reworked a bit org-capture, but I haven't yet worked on org-agenda
restrictions and other details.

;;; Commentary:
;; Org-select is a selection framework meant to be simple and easy to use. Its
;; job is to display a list of choices for a user to pick from and to hand in
;; the selection to the client application. Org-select can be used to allow
;; either a single selection at a time, or for repeated selections from a
;; menu-like text-buffer.
;; One of goals with this framework is to be easy to setup for the client
;; code. For that reason, org-select uses simple template language modeled after

that there are entries following with keys like \"ab\", \"ax\"...
2. Select-able members must have more than two elements, with the first

The command will then make a temporary buffer listing all entries

When you press a prefix key, the commands (and maybe further prefixes)
