AutoMenus Pro is a control panel that makes menu use (especially those pesky hierarchical menus) much easier. It can be set so that menus will drop down when the cursor is placed in the menu heading or it can be set to drop down a menu after a click of the mouse. Once down, a menu can be put back up automatically just by moving the mouse outside the menu or with the click of the mouse. What makes AutoMenus Pro so useful is that the menus stay down without the need to hold down the mouse button.
Once you get used to AutoMenus Pro you will wonder why Apple didn't include something like this as a standard part of the system software.
Why Should I Use AutoMenus Pro?
With AutoMenus Pro installed, you will increase your productivity. AutoMenus Pro dramatically decreases the possibility of inadvertant menu selection and dismissal. When you don't have to worry about accidentally selecting the wrong item and you have free movement since no mouse button is required till you make your selection, you can zip through menus at light speed!
Another reason to use AutoMenus Pro you probably wouldn't think about is your health. AutoMenus Pro can reduce the chance of you receiving a computer related injury such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by reducing the amount of work you must perform when making menu selections (see "About CTS" for an in depth explanation of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome). AutoMenus Pro is currently being used by sufferers of CTS to aid in their recovery and still provide use of their Macintosh®.
AutoMenus Pro is currently being used world wide by the physically challenged because it makes menu selection much easier for those who have difficulty using their hands and arms. See "Registration" for information on special purchasing options for the physically challenged.
