Context Sensitive Commands.


Creating Context Sensitive Commands.

The basic idea is having context sensitive engine within our computers. It keeps recording the user behavior and builds the context sensitive commands based on the user behavior. So your computer learns from you and then supports your actions for your ease.

And its instances could be numerous, one can actually build up a plethora of activities to simplify for the user. I can quote some instances here-
- I have copied a font file on my clipboard (obviously to paste it somewhere), when I type Start->Run, then it can automatically show me the c:\windows\fonts as the first option and other folders where I generally keep my font files.
- In my Internet browser, I right click to save a file. In the save as, the topmost options it could have shown me is the list of folder where I usually save my images.

These small actions can add up to easing the user day-to-day redundant tasks.
