Description

• 

The CurrentContext package represents the current context menu structure. Using the exports of the CurrentContext package, you can change the current context menu structure and functionality.

• 

In the standard distribution of Maple, ContextMenu:-CurrentContext is an alias for the global package StandardContext, which is the built-in context-sensitive menu system.

  

To change the entries that appear in the current context menu, use the Entries subpackage.

  

To change the organization of entries in the top-level context menu, use the Categories subpackage.

  

To change the entry generators or queries that are used by the current context menu module, use the EntryGenerators or Queries subpackages respectively.

• 

The HandleExpression command returns the contents of the context-sensitive menu for a given expression. Though it is generally used only by Maple when generating a context-sensitive menu interactively, it is useful for testing that modifications or additions to context menus behave as expected.

• 

Each command in the CurrentContext package can be accessed by using either the long form or the short form of the command name in the command calling sequence.

• 

The long form, CurrentContext:-command, is always available. The short form can be used after loading the package.
