Pulldown Menu

In the computer world, there are two ways to access settings or choose specific actions, and that’s via Pulldown or Popup Menus. The main place you’ll be accessing Pulldowns is when using the Menu Bar, which typically runs all the way across the top of your monitor’s virtual desktop. Every operating system saves space by concealing its most important (and most frequently used) commands in Pulldown Menus. But Pulldowns are not limited to just operating systems. When you open an application, you get another menu bar across the top with which you will communicate with the specific program via Pulldown Menus. However, the most frequently used commands can be performed by keyboard shortcuts, some of which are universal and others which are program-specific.
