> I only wish it's possible to attach the app menu bar as well. The global menu bar approach of macOS and GNOME can feel a bit ridiculous on large displays. I personally disagree. It's still highly relevant to be able to "slam" the pointer upward to always land on the menu bar.

Problem is returning to where you came from again. RISC OS has the best menus, just click the mouse button anywhere in the window, maximum Fitts score, and you can select menu items and keep the menu open to select more, also select a menu item that has a submenu, and have windows as submenus, for palette selection etc

  That's also what GIMP has right :) They added the (IMO perfectly useless) standard menu for the unacquainted...

  >Problem is returning to where you came from again. I have cursor speed set high on all of my machines for this very reason. Easy to slam edges, minimal movement to get back to where you started. It takes a day or so to adjust to being precise with small hand movements, but it was totally worth it, at least for me.

    I'm curious what kind of mouse you have, and how you have it set up. I'm guessing you're not using a trackpad or TrackPoint?

      My day to day pointing device is a trackball (CST L-Trac) but I occasionally use a mouse and the trackpad on my MBP. At one point I used a dell precision laptop with a trackpoint. Pointer speed is high on all of them, and I used to use hot corners but now the only corner I use is bottom left for screen lock.

        Ah, a trackball; that makes perfect sense. I really need to get myself one of those things :) Interesting, screen lock at bottom left. I'm guessing you're not using Windows, or that you open the menu with the Windows key if you do.
