Menu design guidelines [Shneiderman 1992]
- use task semantics to organize menu
- prefer broad and shallow to narrow and deep
- show position by graphics, numbers, or titles
- use item names as titles for trees
- use meaningful groupings of items
- use meaningful sequencing of items
- make item brief, begin with keyword
- use consistent grammar, layout, terminology
- allow typeahead, jumpahead, or other shortcuts
- allow jumps to previous and main menus
- consider online help, novel selection mechanism, response time, display rate, and screen size
