Selected Menu

[ ]

In conjunction with the Menu Guidelines reference page, use Table 12 to decide which choices to include in the Selected menu and how to organize them.

Table 12. Selected Menu Choices

Mnemonic	Menu Choice	Keyboard Function
N	New	Ctrl N
O	Open	Ctrl O
D	Delete to Trash	Delete

[ ]

Use CtrlN and Ctrl O for the New and Open entries on the Selected menu only if your application does not have a state or contents that needs to be named and persistently stored.

[ ]

If your application manages and displays only one type of object that the user can select, replace the Selected label with one naming the type of object.

[ ]

Include type-specific choices at the bottom of the Selected menu that apply to the types of objects selected. Add and remove type-specific choices (rather than making those choices unavailable) as the selection changes.

[ ]

Print out the contents of each of the selected objects when the user chooses the Print choice on the Selected menu.
