Sure, the introduction of contextual menus in Mac OS 8.x was long overdue, with our friends in the Windows world having this feature for some time. Yes, they're a pain to use if you have a single-button pointing device and have to hold down the control key, but if you're the lucky owner of a multi-button device like the Turbo Mouse, contextual menus can actually become usable.

PowerMenu extends contextual menus in many useful ways. One set of extra menus allow loading of a selected document with either the currently running application, or a set of predefined applications. This can be useful if you want to load a document into an application other than the one that created the document.

Another set of menus allow you to copy a file, make an alias, or move a file to a Target Folder that has been previously defined. Quick Open and Quick Launch menus allow access to a group of documents and applications that are always available from a contextual menu.

A unique cut (or copy) and paste feature will allow you to perform these operations on files which appear on your desktop. No need to fiddle with windows on your desktop, trying to make both source and destination folders visible, in order to move your files around.

PowerMenu provides a wealth of features that let you take advantage of contextual menus in new and useful ways.
