A NeXT-like fix for Apple’s clumsy NeXT-based Finder

Kudos to my sources at CNET for finding this nifty bit of software. I have often complained about the static location of the application’s menu bar when working with a dual-display. When you are working on the non-primary display, it is a long mouse journey back to the ‘File’ menu. It seems that I am not alone in the Apple dual-display desert. Karl Hsu has developed a bit of donation-ware called DejaMenu that with a key-combination, will display the current application’s menu bar right above the current window. Nifty. NeXTStep alums will recall that this was available in that OS with a right click.

Thank you Karl.
