Configuring Desktop menus

Pop-up menus

Pop-up menus are defined using the same syntax as pull-down menus, and are displayed by the popup command.

For example, a simple pop-up FooBar menu could be defined as follows:

   menu: foobar_menu
   {
      menu_item: FooBar {} %// menu title
      dividing_line;
   
      menu_item: Foo
      {
         fyi Foo
      }
      menu_item: Bar
      {
         fyi Bar
      }
   }

The accompanying icon_rules clause would resemble:

   icon_rules
   {
      foobar /F
      {
         title=FooBar;
         trigger_action: menu
         {
            popup foobar_menu
         }
      }
   }

In the above example, foobar_menu refers to the menu clause of that name already defined. The FooBar menu would appear when you hold down mouse button 3 over the FooBar icon, which represents a file called foobar.
