Pop-up menus eh?
Gimme a three button mouse, with the menu set for the middle button,
and also a "back" button at the top left of every window (to send the
window to the bottom of the window stack), then using my Mac will be
just like using my old Acorn Archimedes 14 years ago. :-)
These were two of the coolest features that Acorn had in their user
interface. Expose is almost as good as having a back button, but not
quite. Small save boxes where you drag a file icon into a finder (with
no browser at all in the save box) was another cool feature.
Occasionally I also miss the ability to have my input focus in a window
other than the front-most too...

Hello,
well, I send these mails only when a new release is out, never just to
announce a would-be feature. This time I've made an exception though,
for this feature was desired by many users for a long long time
(actually, from the very Mac OS X 10.0 Beta, which rendered the
previous Rhapsody implementation ineffective).
Let me proudly inform you that finally I've found a trick to revive the
old NeXTStep feature to *pop-up the main application menu at the
current mouse position*: with NeXTStep the service used to be bound to
the right menu button.
In the next release of OCSmart Hacks (N2.3) it will be possible to set
up a (user-configurable) set of modifiers, with which a click or push
pops up the main menu at the current mouse location. The bigger screen
you use, the more you are bound to like the feature, for it allows you
an unlimited access to all the application services without being
forced to move the mouse to the menu bar (or to the torn-off menu of
OCSmart Hacks).
Thank you very much for being interested in OCSmart Hacks,
