Menus: portable and free

Last night I attended the high school reunion for the first high school I taught at. It is a good thing that age is a state of mind, otherwise, I might just be feeling a little old today.
It was wonderful to see that so many students had expanded well beyond the envelop of their studies and where excelling in their chosen professions.

Menu systems need to be capable of expanding in a manner that offers users clear and specific choices that are not limited by the technology at hand. They must be practical enough for programmers to easily create and manage the various “use case scenarios”.

What should we expect online? That which we expect offline:

• Menu bars.
• Tool bars.
• Nested menus.
• Context menus.
• Keyboard navigation.

Context menus "pop up" with a right-click of your mouse , or a double click 2x of your left mouse button; it is your choice.

Nested menus are indicated by an arrow at the right side of the menu item. When you have selected this menu item, its sub menu will automatically open.

Keyboard navigation is supported using the arrow keys on your keyboard. For example, press “Alt p” to open the “Portable menu” in the main menu bar (analogous to the File menu on static desktops), then use your arrow keys to navigate. You may use the “Esc” key to close the menus.

You may accomplish all of this with your mouse if you prefer – it is your choice!
