ABSTRACT:
A graphical user interface (GUI) for a computer system reduces the amount of manipulation of an input device required in accessing a selected item on a menu. The GUI displays a selected menu on the display screen on the basis of the number of consecutive actuations of the input device, such as a mouse button, in a predetermined time interval, or a duration time of an actuation of the input device, such as holding a mouse button down for a period of time. Menus in a predetermined sequence of menus can be selected, or a single menu can be divided into two or more parts which are then separately selected by consecutive actuations of the input device, or continuous actuation of the input device for a predetermined period of time.
