Things to do in future releases:
- Allow integrated menus and templates (so you can have a multiple-selection
menu overlayed on top a data-entry field template, for example).
- Allow different rendition indications for various portions of the
menus and templates. Things like "standout", or even colors (using
standard ANSI or user-specified escape sequences for field rendition).
This would allow (for example) template fields which had errors in the
data to be presented in red reverse-video rendition.
- Allow user specification of character-sequences used to perform certain
generic functions (such as "cursor_up"). You could use a call such
as the following:
&menu_key_bind("<function string>","<bound seq>");
(I really thought I'd have this done for version 4.0, but I just couldn't
get enough time. Maybe in version 4.1 ... SLK)
- Allow a new "menu_pref" that places "(Done with ..."), etc at bottom of
menus (instead of at the top).
- Create support for headings within the menu selection items. These
strings (really non-selectable items) would be "auto-skipped" during arrow
movement/selection.
