Publisher's Description
From Karl Hsu:
DejaMenu will display the current application's main menu (the menubar) as a context menu when a key combination is pressed. This is useful for people with large monitors, or multiple monitors.

"XWindows and NeXt Step Strikes Back! But *much* better."
Version: DejaMenu 1.2.2
Pros
It is the most elegant way to get to the menu in a two-monitor environment. You get instant access to the Menu from a shortcut key. while the window is active, instead of having to move the mouse the looong way back.
Cons
You get almost the same functionality by pressing ctrl-F2 which activates the menubar, although a little bit more cumbersome. Having said that, it feels very unnatural to shift focus to the other screen, to request something to happen with a window.
Summary
I haven't gotten around to test it with BBEdit yet. -But I expect it to be fully operational. I can leverage this to get better workflows, for no money at all, which is a gift.
I feel the app is somewhat premature, -but very promising. I would love to be able to control click in a window to invoke the menu, - just like in X11 -nods. Everybody has two mousebuttons nowadays any way.
Still Kudos to the Developer, since this is the best solution I have found to the problem so far, - and cheapest as well.
Please implement a mouse click and a modifier key of the user's choice as well, and you have a winner! -
"Incredible utility, especially for multi-scree..."

Incredible utility, especially for multi-screen users! I have 3 large monitors and a large LCD TV attached to my Mac Pro. Before I had DejaMenu, navigating back to the "main screen" to access the menu bar felt like traveling across the US in a slow car. Now that I have DejaMenu, accessing the menu bar with a push of my mouse button solved this problem.
I use a multi-button Logitech Revolution Mouse and programmed the scroll button to pop up DejaMenu. To be able to access the menu bar on any of the screens, in any app, is just wonderful. It's one of the top time-saving utilities I've found.
100% stable with OS X 10.6.4.
5 stars! Perfect! I can't believe this app is free!

"Excellent product, now Universal"

I'm delighted to see that this and XShelf from the same developer are now Universal apps. They both add greatly to the ease of use in OSX, and I'm glad to have them in a form native to the new Macs. -
"Best just got better"

Arrow-key navigation now works for me (though still no documentation on it that I can find -- not hard to figure out, I should add). Fast. Efficient. Useful. And free.
Simply brilliant. -

"Great product"
Version: DejaMenu 1.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
To have something this powerful and useful, at such a great price -- the best! -- is remarkable.
One star off because the documentation on how to use the keyboard navigation is simply not there. In other words, the documentation tells me that keyboard navigation "now works", but not how to make it work.
I'm assuming, of course, that keyboard navigation refers to getting around in the menus, and not to the key combination used to invoke DejaMenu. If I'm wrong, then the wording "keyboard navigation" is misleading, so it's still one star off.
But hey, I'm justifying myself (been reading reviews around here long enough to know how touchy some people are, so I'm covering my butt!) and adding a negative note to what really is a celebration of a great little app.
This is a small, easy-to-use and highly recommended piece of software. Bouquets to the author. -

PLEASE MAKE IT RESPOND TO THE ARROW KEYS FROM KEYBOARD INSTEAD OF FORCING INPUT VIA MOUSE AND THEN WE WILL BE IN BUSINESS -
"Really nice!!"

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This rocks!
Now that there's a way to display the menubar items somewhere else, why not recreate another menu bar on a second monitor? I'm sure this would be quite easy...
Oh, and I wish there was a way to have he menubar in a window all the time, ala OpenStep.
Add a mode to hide the "actual" menubar, and you are God!!
