spline editor context menu is too large
Posted: Sun Aug 30, 2015 8:17 pmSo that's not really a bug in Fusion 8 but the jump from version 7 to 8 is as good as any other one to comment on this 
This screenshot shows the context menu that appears when I right-click on the label of an animated input in the left-hand list of the spline editor. It doesn't even fit on my laptop's monitor (I admit, I'm losing a bit of real estate due to the dock in OSX... but without it the menu wouldn't be less tall, just not as wide)
I get the feeling that the sheer number of menu items doesn't make it faster to pick the right one. A lot of those items wouldn't have to show up when right-clicking where I have clicked:

I get the feeling that the sheer number of menu items doesn't make it faster to pick the right one. A lot of those items wouldn't have to show up when right-clicking where I have clicked:
- View Layout? That can be shown when I click on an empty area or the spline editor's tab.
- The items from "Swap Inputs" through "Script" seem to be the ones that show up when right-clicking a tool in the flow. The least useful of them in the current situation is certainly "Edit Splines"
- Copy Values: copies the value of the current spline where my mouse is - it doesn't do anything when I click a label on the left.
- Copy Points / Paste Points have the same hotkeys as the Copy & Paste commands at the top of the menu.
