<div dir="auto">Yes, it would be great to address those issues, and also unify different ways to define commands/actions/services on models that can be triggered by buttons, menues and keyboard shortcuts, and do it in a way that can be easily extended by packages. Currently we have SimpleServiceEntry for FileList, I think these could eventually be reimplemented in terms of a new (more general and simpler) commands/actions/services thing.</div><div> <div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, 19 Jul 2022 at 21:22 Juan Vuletich via Cuis-dev <<a href="mailto:cuis-dev@lists.cuis.st">cuis-dev@lists.cuis.st</a>> wrote: </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204)"> <div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> On 7/15/2022 12:53 PM, Hilaire Fernandes via Cuis-dev wrote: <blockquote type="cite"> Hi, Here is a first iteration for decentralized menu definitions . Check the comment of the MenuBuilder class and its example to execute. Then check its example class methods to read how write definition of the menu. In theory, this should let third party package smoothly adds entries in Cuis menus. There is place for improvements and to make menu definition more compact, but its already gives a general idea.

But if we are to change how menus are built in the base image, adding a mechanism that packages will depend on, I'd like it to also address these: - Keyboard shortcuts. Today, these are even in a worse shape than menus. There's no way to tweak them, and we already ran out of them. - Context. Different gui controls in different apps will need different menus / shortcuts. Even depending on state or mode. - Scope of context. Some menus / shortcuts may apply to a leaf morph, like a text editor or list. Others apply to a window or other composite morph. Others are global. Actually, we are talking about user commands and how to issue them. So, some questions are: - which user commands are available on a certain morph in a certain moment - how do we group them in menus - how (if) we assign them a keyboard shortcut Everyone, please chime in and share your ideas or possible approaches. It would be great if we can find a general solution.
