Ok. ;) > Click K to pop up the menu > Slide mouse straight pointer up to Multimedia, and hover there. > Submenu appears Ah, now I understand you. > Now to select a sub menu item, you have to slide your mouse > pointer straight across with out falling off (above or below) the > multimedia line. Not true. :) The mouse pointer may fall off, I don't care when it does, but I make sure that, when the pointer is near the edge of the menu, I have the right item selected. If not, I re-select it, and then I slide a short distance to the right, and move into the sub-menu. When I search / browse the KDE-menu, I first move the pointer near the right edge, then slide up/down to let the sub-menus appear. If I found what I looked for, I only have to move a short distance into the sub-menu. > The higher the resolution the harder this is to > do, extremely tricky with a trackball or a touch pad mouse. Indeed, it is. But the crucial point in time when the item of your choice *has* to be selected, is upon the movement from the parent menu into the sub-menu. > If the submenu appeared immediately to the right of the > cursor this would be much faster, easier, and even possible > with notebook touch-pads. Agreed. But it would cover the parent menu (partly), and I'm not sure if I would like that (probably not). I have no experience with notebooks, touch-pads or their combination. ;) But it is possible to navigate menus with the arrow-keys, although it's weird to move into a sub-menu on the left by pressing the right-arrow-key. BTW, does playing with the mouse pointer accelleration/treshold settings help? Cheers, Leen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
