Not context menus specifically, but I'm fairly sure the HIG states that no function should ever be available _only_ from a context menu - everything needs to be on the real menu somewhere. A mac-head friend of mine keeps blowing up when he finds that Apple have violated this in the iTools somewhere... ah, yes, http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/XHIGMenus/chapter_15_section_5.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30000356/TPXREF113 (ow, long url) 'Never provide a contextual menu command that is not also accessible through the menu bar. Commands with keyboard shortcuts should be noted in the menu bar menu but not in the contextual menu.' So there you go. -- .tom _______________________________________________ Camino mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/camino
