SCROLLABLE SMART MENU

摘要

Technologies are generally described for providing a scrollable context menu for interacting with content displayed on a user interface. The scrollable context menu may include a base set of commands available for execution on selected textual and other content. A user may scroll the menu to display a carousel of additional available options employing traditional input such as mouse and stylus input and employing touch and gesture based interaction. The scrollable context menu may present visual cues to indicate that additional options are available. Each command in the base set of commands displayed on the scrollable context menu may be a command commonly used by a user and associated with a user profile unique to the user. The user profile may be saved such that commonly used commands may be preserved and displayed each time the scrollable context menu is presented to the user from any application or device.
