[JBoss303]

Hello,

I'm using an external monitor with my PB (OS X 10.3.2). The dual mode works fine but there is one annoyance: the menubar is only on one display. This makes it difficult to handle applications on the display that does not have the menu because you have to move the mouse and look to the another display to do menu commands.

Is there a way to get the menus on both displays?

BR,

Jari

not that i know of. this topic came up recently and that was the general conclusion as well.

I remember asking about this when OS X first came out. I would pay for this functionality. I use two monitors all the time and it is a PITA to have to keep moving back and forth between them to use the menu bar. I have learned all the keyboard commands for my apps, but not everything has a command. Maybe I should try full keyboard access . . .

Wonder how hard this would be to program. Something that gets the current menubar and items, and then creates a copy on the 2nd (3rd/4th,5th etc) screen.

All it has to do is know when a menu item is selected, and pass that to te actual menu.

Anyway, been drinking all night, so not a good time to think about it.

Programmers: is there a way to get a list of all the menu items etc? If so then it should not be too hard, could even use the Applescript GUI scripting or something...

try DejaMenu. A keystroke summons the menu bar menus' contents in a CM.
Good on a 4th mouse button; great tied to InvisibleKey0 on a TouchStream .
