As a reminder, and as discussed during the workshop: Having support for a self-adapting customization/reduction of UI menus would be very useful, like: - based on users most frequent selections and typical usage - possible to reuse auto-customizations by others (other team, project, domain, whatever) - reduce/optimize out tools/menus seldom used from pop-up selection list - more?
The main purpose of this one is to provide a more user-friendly UI and reduce the number of mouse-clicks to achieve things.
As we discussed, there already exist a similar functionality when setting the datatypes, a menu which lists the last used datatypes so that the user do not have to navigate e.g. to imported packages each time. Sometimes when selecting "New Child" you get a really huge popup menu which often do not fit into the screen. Every possibility (according to the metamodel) get exposed in that menu, including the ones that does not make sense. There should be some criteria telling when to expose individual sub menus and for how long it should be exposed, like a small menu counter/timer/whatever. Sub-menues which never are used, or have not been used for a very long time, by a user or a group of users (project/domain/whatever) could instead be grouped into a separate sub-sub-menu, if possible, as a nice way of getting rid of these huge popup menues.
