Hi all --

-1 (to that move menu/cursor idea to pre-select anything)

Menu items in Squeak can be invoked by mouse-down (i.e. menu pop up), mouse-move (i.e. item select), and mouse-up (i.e. item activate). Moving the menu in a way to pre-select an item would be a bad idea. Then we would need to deactivate that workflow I just described, which would add an extra click for menu invocation. Therefore, the menu must not be opened underneath the mouse cursor to avoid that extra mouse-up/mouse-down while interactive with the menu.

Best,
Marcel

Unfortunately I have zero Morphic experience to do it myself. Reordering the menu is easy but I have no idea how to position the cursor. Especially close to the bottom... the menu shifts upwards :)

Cool, thanks, I wasn't aware :)
