Re: A New Keyhole Type!

RememberiScott's definition of a Keyhole: a *needless* restriction on
what the user can see or do.

Some modal dialogs are needlessly so.
But not all. If the program needs user input to continue, they might not
be.

Now consider:
* menus from the menubar
* pop-up menus (including option menus)
* drop-down lists (aka combo boxes)

All are essentially modal dialogs, although the capability of "tear-off
menus" has made the first capable of being modeless. But the others are
definitely modal. What's the likelihood of getting the other two to be
modeless?
