Does a context-menu-based application menu exist?

Myeah, didn’t exist in 5-ish and it doesn’t in 6-ish. Been discussed before like, for example, https://discuss.kde.org/t/bring-back-the-magic-cascading-menu-quick-access-ancestor/7213. Fwiw, at some point some dude made a menu but it was discontinued.


Personally I’ve been using the Cupnoodle menu since…forever really but as an openbox guy I kinda miss the functionality and speed of those types of menus ( especially those that support pipemenus). That’s why I implemented jgmenu on my rig. There simply aren’t any menus that can beat that type of stuff.


Doesn’t exist on kde. So, in order to get a more or less similar type of cascading, you had to completely rearrange the default menu. Adding a few ( both “favorite” apps, directory shortcuts etc…) as copy/paste/move existing contexts. Takes a bit of time, but it works.

See, in jgmenu for example, that places entry is a pipemenu ( openbox). It’s automatically generated as cascade upon cascade. In kde you’d have to create such types of entries since, at least to my knowledge, there is no menu available that does it. And certainly not apps AND directories.
