Where did the "move" function in menus go?

I seem to remember that the object returned by E.showMenu offered a 'move' function. This is corroborated by the API documentation, yet in the latest firmware it seems to have gone missing. Is this an oversight or was it removed on purpose?

It's gone on Bangle.js 2 because there's no longer the idea of a 'selected' menu item that you can move. The list is scrollable (and I guess we could expose a scroll function) but nothing is actually selected until you tap on it

Thanks, that makes sense. I was looking for a way to programatically scroll a menu that has more items than fit on one screen. I guess there is no way to do this at them moment then?

Not at the moment.

Looking at the code, it would be possible to allow E.showMenu to take a scroll argument which would set up the initial scroll position. Would that help?

Yes, a scroll argument would be helpful indeed.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
