Menu (computing)

In computing and telecommunications, a menu is a list of options or commands presented to an operator by a computer or communications system.

Choices given from a menu may be selected by the operator by a number of methods (called interfaces):

  • entering the identifier for the desired menu item from a keyboard
  • positioning a cursor or reverse video bar by using a keyboard, mouse, or remote control D-pad
  • using an electromechanical input device, such as a light pen
  • touching the display screen with a finger
  • speaking to a voice-recognition system

Famous quotes containing the word menu:

    Roast Beef, Medium, is not only a food. It is a philosophy. Seated at Life’s Dining Table, with the menu of Morals before you, your eye wanders a bit over the entrées, the hors d’oeuvres, and the things à la though you know that Roast Beef, Medium, is safe and sane, and sure.
    Edna Ferber (1887–1968)
