<div>The menu could be a fixed Actions menu for the moment.

<div>I feel there is a hole between Layer Actions and Plugins, which various softwares fill with Macros (like OO StarBasic, Mapinfo's MapBasic, etc.).</div>
<div>It would be nice to be able to write Macros, like in Actions, but on a application level and not bounded to a layer.</div><div>The plus would be to let the user assign Macros to custom menu items...</div><div>The last step would be being able to call plugin methods.</div>
