The right hand monitor doesn't have a menubar, which makes things even worse.
Since day one I've always dreaded needed to go into a menu, as it meant I had to STOP what I was doing, LOCATE the mouse cursor wherever it was hiding on the screen, MOVE IT ACROSS *TWO* SCREENS, find the MENU ITEM, click it, then RETURN THE CURSOR TO ITS OLD LOCATION AND RE-ACTIVATE the work area. Pure pain.
To alleviate this, I use keyboard shortcuts as much as possible, but there's always that time when you need to access something that you either haven't bound to a keyboard shortcut, or just don't know the shortcut, especially if you need to do some action you only use rarely.
Well, I had no idea a program like MenuPop existed, and it has completely solved the problem for me! I'm stunned! A simple keyboard press brings up the menu immediately, without having to interrupt my work! It is an INCREDIBLY good utility, allowing me to stay "in the zen" of what I am working on and quickly get to any action I need to perform. No longer do I dread going to the menus or even exploring things I hadn't seen in them before. You become a true menu warrior with this application! ;-)
It's priced fairly, and the developer is very responsive. Please, if you have multiple screens, download the demo of this program and give it a try for your own sake. I am sure you will find it to be one of your ESSENTIAL pieces of Mac software!

When i run menupop and i switch with any application in fullscreen mode (lion style) i can't go back in normal mode because when i go to the top of the screen with the mouse there is no menubar anymore and no button for switching from fullscreen in normal mode
The problem is solved with uninstalling menupop
Please do something about it
Thanks for your feedback.
MenuPop has been extensively tested with Lion's fullscreen mode and so far this is the first report of such behavior.
If I understand you correctly:
You have MenuPop running
Say you're using Safari and you switch to fullscreen mode
You're in fullscreen mode.
Now, MenuPop should behave just fine and pop up with the hot key/mouse button.
To go back to regular (non-fullscreen mode), you can either:
Pop up the menu using MenuPop and select View|Exit Full Screen
or
Move your mouse up to the top edge of the screen and the actual menubar will appear (this is a feature of Lion's fullscreen and Apple's fullscreen modes in general). Simply click on the fullscreen icon which is located next to the spotlight (magnifying glass) icon. You can also select View|Exit Full Screen from the actual menu or punch in control-command-F.
That's it. This should be the way Lion behaves and MenuPop will -never- attempt to interfere with that.
If I'm missing something here, please drop me a line or feel free to discuss it in the Troubleshooting section of MU.
Thanks!

BTW doesn't work with OS X 10.7 DP2 Upgrade 2. It crashes the background app. But I am sure this will be addressed in a future update.

Thanks for your comment. MenuPop will be compatible with OSX Lion 10.7 prior to its official release.

This default keyboard shortcut brings you to the desired menu too.

Thanks for your comment. While MenuPop's value may not be immediately apparent to you, maybe this will help:
- Ctrl-F2 simply activates the menu bar menu on the primary screen.
- MenuPop pops up the menu at your current mouse cursor position using either a hot key or mouse button (e.g. middle mouse button), on any screen and on any window. A boon if you're using a very large monitor, or multiple monitors. Personally, I use four monitors on my development station, which is why I wrote MenuPop (and MenuEverywhere) :) Saves me from stretching my neck to view the menu on the primary screen or to lose focus of my current work location.
- Others use MenuPop with projector displays. Works like a charm when you are demoing on the secondary (projector) display and don't want to keep going back to the primary display to select menu items.
- Cintiq users love it too.
Kind regards,
Hisham

Yet here on MacUpdate there is this version 1.3.1 available.
I don't understand.
Plus, there doesn't appear to be any auto update feature built in to MenuPop.
How does one update this app to the latest version through the AppStore or any other way?
Thanks.

Thanks for purchasing MenuPop.
With regards to the Mac App Store version, as with all App Store purchases, you will get updated to 1.3.1 as soon as Apple reviews and approves it. 1.3.1 has been submitted to Apple today (i.e. the same day the non-App Store 1.3.1 has been tested and released).
How long this review process takes is out of developers' hands. It can be overnight ot even up to a month. Usually a week in my experience.
As for an auto-update function in the non-App Store version, I decided against that as I'd like to keep MP free of any network code or non-core functionality. Keeps it light just as it's intended to be.

Even though I love what I do (coding useful applications that make your day a little bit easier), I still have to face reality and meet the mailman with bills at the end of every month.
I never anticipated selling MenuPop when I originally released it. However, as time dedicated to supporting MenuPop users became significant, I feel it's fair to charge a nominal amount that will help me to continue supporting it and adding new features and facilities to make it faster and better.
While MenuPop is not as comprehensive as my other app MenuEverywhere in terms of features, it remains the latter's lightweight little brother for those who only need a pop up menu. Therefore, any features I will be adding to MenuPop will pertain to enhancing the pop up menu, its speed, and flexibility.
When I surveyed some of the existing free users, $4.99 was considered by them the 'right price' for MenuPop. I feel this is reasonable as well.
