Options menus</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>Certain Options menus are accessed in other ways than by using the Options

softkey. The usage of these menus is similar to the normal Options menu. Examples

of such menus are:</p>

<entry><p>Context sensitive Options menu</p></entry>

<entry><p>In touch enabled devices, it is possible that touch release can

open a context specific options menu, if the user is browsing, for example,

a form or an editor or application specific layout. The Selection key can

also open this context sensitive <b>Options</b> menu (also known as CS menu)

when there is no single intuitive function (such as opening the item in focus)

for it. </p><p>The context sensitive Options menu only lists functions that: </p><ul>

<li><p>Affect only the item in focus. </p></li>

<li><p>Could be regarded as potentially intuitive. </p></li>

<li><p>Are competing for the topmost place of the menu.</p></li>

</ul><p>The context-sensitive menu is a shorter version of the normal options

menu. It contains only the items that act upon the object touched or items

marked. It does not contain state-specific or application-specific items.

Context specific options menu should be used only if there is more than one

item in it but not more than four. As an example, in a message editor, the

functions in the context sensitive Options menu could be Send and Add recipient.</p><p>Other

functions can be accessed through the Options softkey. </p><p>In case there

are marked items in a list, the context sensitive Options menu should include

the Mark/Unmark functions. When a list is empty, it may make sense to offer

a Create new type of option in the context sensitive Options menu, but only

when it would be an appropriate function in the context.</p></entry>

<entry><p>Menu List</p></entry>

<entry><p>Menu list is a temporary list, and typically displayed in a pop-up

window. Menu lists are used to select an item and do nothing else. Hence,

there are no <b>Options</b> menu available when a menu list is being browsed

(the Options menu itself is a menu list).</p><p>If a high-priority event,

such as an incoming call, occurs when a menu list is open, the list is cancelled

and the new event takes control. </p><fig id="GUID-C9A7253A-5120-4EE9-88D6-3772149F9575">
