Menu
Two styles. Infinite depth.
Overview
OwlScope's menu is inspired by the CS:GO buy menu. Press your hotkey, and the menu appears at your cursor. Each slot can hold an action or a folder (which opens a child menu). You choose how the menu looks — Radial or Grid.
Menu Styles
Radial (CS:GO Style)
Classic circular wedge layout. Navigate by angle — move your mouse in the direction of the action you want. Feels like the original CS:GO buy wheel. Best for small, focused menus where muscle memory drives speed.
Grid (CS2 Style)
Modern grid layout. Navigate by row and column. Resembles the CS2 loadout screen — cleaner for menus with many items. Labels are more visible, making it easier to scan options.
Switch styles anytime in Settings → Theme. Both styles support the full feature set, nested submenus, and keyboard shortcuts.
8-Slot Layout
Each menu level has 8 slots. You can assign any action type to any slot:
- App Launcher — open any application
- Script — run a shell script or command
- System Command — lock, sleep, restart, toggle dark mode, etc.
- URL — open a URL in your default browser
- Key Combo — send a keyboard shortcut to the active app
- Folder — opens a nested submenu with 8 more slots
Navigation
Both Radial and Grid styles share the same navigation controls:
| Action | Mouse | Keyboard |
|---|---|---|
| Select a slot | Hover + click | Press 1–8 |
| Enter a folder | Click the folder slot | Press the slot number |
| Go back | Click center / right-click | Esc or Backspace |
| Close menu | Click outside | Esc (at root level) |
Nested Submenus
Folders can contain other folders — creating infinite-depth hierarchies. Organize actions by category (e.g., “Dev Tools → Docker → Start / Stop / Logs”).
Combos
Nested folders aren't just for organization — they create combos. By chaining folder navigation with slot selection, you build repeatable key sequences that fire specific actions instantly, every time.
The pattern is simple: ⌘E → folder slot → action slot. Go deeper for more specificity.
Example Combos
| Combo | What It Does |
|---|---|
| ⌘E → 1 | Open Safari (root-level action) |
| ⌘E → 2 → 4 | Dev Tools → Start Docker |
| ⌘E → 3 → 1 | Design → Open Figma |
| ⌘E → 5 → 2 → 3 | Scripts → Deploy → Staging |
Because slots never move, these combos become muscle memory. After a few days, you stop reading the menu and just execute the sequence — like pressing B → 4 → 2 in CS:GO to buy an AK-47 without thinking.
