Hello Ihor,

TL;DR: We are in the process of designing a more unified selection

to (1) avoid too many customizations; (2) allow users to decide how to
choose between multiple options - by mouse, keyboard, and using
customizable UIs.

I would consider an `actions -> menu` functionality to be something which should be a distinct tool,
albeit heavily configured to suit Orgmode functionality.
I think its great how Transient was able to emerge from Magit's activities and its clearly providing opportunities for scaling the utility.

If I may widen the topic a little, your RFC could be an opportunity to examine the overlaps between Orgmode and Hyperbole.

For instance, the use of implicit buttons could be examined:
https://www.gnu.org/software/hyperbole/man/hyperbole.html#Implicit-Buttons

I reckon what you are proposing (greater fluency and flow for menus dependent on context) could benefit Hyperbole's functionality too (the action utility for that environment seems more focused on one action rather than prompting a selection of actions).

Ive CC'd Robert Weiner (who leads Hyperbole), incase that is of use.

Kind regards,


Jonathan McHugh
