Talk:Menu cleanup: Difference between revisions

: Alex, that’s a ''great'' talk. I think the biggest problem with right-clicking in general is that you never know where anything goes. There is too much duplication of functionality, and too little logical separation between where anything ''should'' go. And it doesn’t help that the right mouse button isn’t labelled. So, for example, Firefox’s menu for any empty area in the page shows things like Back and Forward and several other items that apply to the page as a whole. It also contains much of the Edit menu but not all of it. This, naturally, leads to a lot of hunting through menus and never having a good idea of where to guess. If a logical separation were strictly enforced, finding the right command would not be as difficult. I think this would be worth exploring solely for the comfort of having real organization. As for Mac users, as you point out, relying on right-click is not a good idea. It would be nice if there were a way to enforce this order there too; perhaps a ‘Selection’ menu could be added in the menu bar.
