| − | === The Lengthy Menu of New Child (right-clicked) ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Problem Description ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The menu list of New Child is too long to browse through.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | For example, every time you want to create a new use case (unfortunately it's at the bottom of the menu) directly in the model explorer (not from in a use case diagram), you have to browse and scroll down the lengthy, complex list by pressing the downward arrow repeatedly, tedious operation.

| − | | + | |
| − | The same situation happens when creating a new package. You have to scroll down by pressing the arrow many times when the menuitem Package does not appear on the first screen.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Possible Solutions ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Provide a new quick access (shortcuts) panel at the top in the 'New Child' menu for most frequently-created (or primary) items, e.g. Actor, Class, Model, Package and Use Case, etc.
| + | |
| − | * An alternative way is providing a History panel in the menu to record most recently items created by the user, hence enabling quick access by just one click without scrolling.
| + | |
| − | * Besides the lengthy alphabetical listing, group items into semantical categories to shorten the list, and move those less-created into lower-level submenus.
