Control menus: Excecution and control in a single interactor

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We propose a new type of contextual pop-up menu called a control menu. These menus combine the selection of an operation and the control of this operation. They integrate up to two scroll bars or spin-boxes and thus allow users to keep their attention focused on the menu during the operation. Control menus can have sub-menus, and also retain the novice and expert modes of use found in marking menus. We describe control menus and how they are useful in different types of user interfaces. A program incorporating our control menus can be tested at http://www.infobiogen.fr/ services/zomiV.
