Hi Christian,
That could be work in different ways.
My first idea was that it should work like nautilus display the
folder path on the top when you navigate through your folders.
e.g. Edit > Past As
But I think this need to much space when you have a menu path with
more as 2 or 3 levels.
Meanwhile I think better is to display following structure: Home
(Back to Top Menu Level) | Back (only visible from level 3 and
higher) | Current Menu Level (e.g. "Past As")
Also I made a failure in my picture. The Button "Show Fav" should
not show the favourites. the favourites I already have in my example
in the panel or top bar.
The button should show by clicking the most used or history of used
menu points. Perhaps also both.
Additional idea from yesterday evening. I think it would usefully if
you give ever menu point and level a number.
Eg. Edit (Nr. 2) > Past (Nr 3) or File (Nr. 1) > Save (Nr. 2)
The users could use this numbering to have for every menu point a
short cut.
Eg. User press: Alt > 2 > 3 > Enter (HUD should update the
view during typing)
A benefit of this would be that also menu points of an application
which have by default no shortcut enabled you can upgrade this over
the HUD.
I think in this way you gave the users all possibilities navigate
through the application menu with every input device.

Hi Marco, how would the breadcrumb (Level 1 > Level
2 > Level 3) work?

Hi,
yes I absolutely agree with you that is for 12.04 to
radical but in generally with HUD you have the
possibility.
I think it is important that the users have both
possibilities. HUD command search and traditional
menu (only a other view).
I created a small picture how I imagine this.

Sorry for the bad quality but I'm no gimp genius.

1. Remove the whole menu
from the Top Bar and replace it with a button.
That would be way too radical for 12.04. That won't
happen, or at least I hope so. The last thing we
need now, is large and sudden changes. What we need
now, is for new options to be added, for people to
try it out, talk about them and then we see what
works. Only when we know that things work in real
life, should it be used by default and things should
not be removed at the same time as something new is
added, unless it is absolutely necessary because of
a conflict. And in those cases, it shouldn't be done
in a hurry.
In fact, though I love the HUD as an idea, I'm not
sure I'd recommend that it be used by default in
12.04. 2-3 months isn't that much time to test a
radical new idea, and pushing poorly tested, highly
visible things in an LTS is a gamble.
I like your ideas, and I think it would be better to
wait until 12.10 to add it by default. By then it
should be well tested and it could have a more
complete feature set. Of course, the decision is not
mine, but that's how I feel about it. :)
