Similarly, Gnome 3 has this purpose in app menu. in That's what Quicklists provides in Unity. > This thinking made me read Mark Shuttleworth's blog on HUD again :). > It is HUD which could be a good alternative.

It is the same technology that currently enables global menus and the HUD, and that will enable the Locally Integrated Menus.

It takes a little for it to become a natural way of doing things, but once you do, it's just extremely comfortable and fast.
