Abstract
Provided is a system and method for popping out a menu that is embedded within a user interface. The popped-out menu can be moved independently of a window in the user interface from which the menu is dislodged from and can have it size adjusted. In one example, the method may include displaying a menu comprising a plurality of selectable actions which are embedded within a user interface window, receiving a predetermined command with respect to the user interface, and in response to receipt of the predetermined command, outputting a pop-out menu that corresponds to the menu embedded within the user interface window, the pop-out window comprising the plurality of selectable actions and being configured to move independently of the user interface window.
