From what you described, it sounds like over-engineering for what the actual problem is (reduce screen size and still have quick access to items). A [☰] icon showing a standard popup menu should suffice. The hamburger menu could be triggered via some standard keyboard shortcut. eg: Ctrl+Space or something. The Spacebar matches the hamburger lines nicely. ;-) You can then select the menu item with arrow keys or a hotkey. No complexities of searching, filtering, magically reordering menu items etc. And all still possible with the keyboard (and mouse). In fact, I have a 12 hour flight coming up where I need to kill some time. Maybe implementing some of these ideas as a prototype/suggestion is a nice way of making the time fly by. ;-) Regards, - Graeme - -- fpGUI Toolkit - a cross-platform GUI toolkit using Free Pascal http://fpgui.sourceforge.net/ My public PGP key: http://tinyurl.com/graeme-pgp -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
