VISUAL is a standard variable and is used by all Unix programs. If I
have to define a new variable for each program I use then I will define
dozens of them. You can take a look about VISUAL-EDITOR in these pages:

Uhmmmm, it's true. I usually use cscope for c programs, but it is
possible to use it in other very different ways. I think this funcionality
is great, because there is a lot of information in the cscope index
that can be very usueful to the users, and define a new menu option
for each of them is no a way. Maybe the solution is looking for a
less intrusive way of defining the type of search, or defining a
escape character or something like this.
