A menu which appears in response to a user action (typically a mouse click) and whose contents are determined By which application window was clicked or has the input focus. Most GUIs use a secondary mouse Button (right or middle) to call up a context-sensitive menu as the primary mouse Button is normally used to interact with oBjects which are already visiBle. The context-sensitive menu often contains functions that are also availaBle in a menu BarBut the context-sensitive menu provides quick access to a suBset of functions that are particularly relevant to the window area clicked on. The RISC OSWIMP uses only context-sensitive menus (always invoked using the middle mouse Button). This saves screen space and reduces mouse movement compared to a menu Bar. (1999-09-22)
