Hide soft menus?

[DavidM]

Hey Andreas -

Glad to see that you're still working on this. I wasn't sure if you were still pursuing the idea.

Achieving this for Font8/Font7/Font6/MiniFont and all headers ist quite challenging...

As you know, the command line position is one of the first obstacles that comes up when altering the SOL to extend the stack. I looked into this just long enough to realize that it was going to take a lot more time and effort to move it than I was prepared to put in for this experiment. That's why I currently just bump up the stack contents above the existing command line during data entry in the current version. Good to see that you've already done that part!

Getting this to work with the menu off (max. 13 display lines) is even more challenging...

Which makes me even more glad that I didn't continue to pursue moving the EditLine down.

What are your thoughts about the concept of a menu that temporarily returns?
