The name "Quit watch later" is hard to understand for users that don't
already know about the quit-watch-later command.
For what it's worth, this does also have some downsides:
1. It makes the context menu even wider, since "Quit watch later" was
already the longest option.
2. The meaning of the "Open > Watch later" option may now be slightly
less obvious to users. But this option does not work by default
anyway, so the user will need to read the manual either way before
using this option.
But these are fairly minor issues.
Add a default context menu definition in etc/menu.conf. It will be used
to populate the context menu.
The format is meant to be easily readable with just tabs as separators
and submenus denoted by indentation. It avoids complicating the builtin
input.conf like similar scripts do.
By not defining the shortcut keys in the builtin input.conf, menu
entries won't be associated to wrong shortcuts when the user's
input.conf changes key bindings without redefining the menu. Note that
external scripts don't have this issue.
I used 3+ spaces as separators at first but then realized that since we
have Windows users tabs will look better in editors with proportional
fonts like notepad, though it still won't be perfectly aligned depending
on the font. But I am still not sure what is better.
On a curious note, etc/menu.conf already existed in the past as mplayer
used to have a menu. git log -p etc/menu.conf will show commits from
2002 to 2011.
Something like the OSD menu functionality could be useful. However the
current implementation has several problems and would require a
relatively large amount of work to get into good shape. As far as I
know there are few users of the existing functionality. Nobody is
working on the existing code and keeping it compiling at all while
changing other code would require extra work. So delete the menu code
and some related code elsewhere that's used by nothing else.
Since libmenu is still not enabled by default, we do not change default command
of Apple Remote input, only add a comment for using OSD menu with Apple Remote.
