[Kstars-devel] RFC: new popup "menu"?

[simang]

Hello.  [Someone told users were welcome to participate in this list...]

A note about the Details window: I was waiting the port was finished to 
suggest a new feature in bugs.kde.org: ability to drag-copy part/all of 
Details window data to the clipboard and optionally a CopyAll button. Not 
that I'm asking for it, just an additional element for you to consider -if it 
were useful- in the current design.

I agree, so I thought on a mix where the user could optionally choose 
if/which one of those submenus should be open by default. This way, 
after right clic (s)he would have available at first sight the preferred 
options: Actions (center, angular distance, details, label..) if desired; 
Images when doing visual tours; Links and bitacora for work, etc. This would 
reduce the amount of decisions to take, while the less used options would be 
at the same hover+clic or clic+clic distance. Compact mode would be available 
anytime. It would require also a "Configure menu" element somewhere.

But I don't know if "pre-open submenu" is possible.
