The shuttle is a context driven menu bar, appearing on-click anywhere, providing the tools and interaction means needed within one context.

Charles Savage explains the shuttle:

The secret to Colayer is its unique and dynamic IdeaWeaver Shuttle™. As Gutenberg created “movable type” over 500 years ago, Colayer enables “weave-able ideas.” Now communities can weave together their best thinking. The Shuttle is a context sensitive virtual toolbox that makes it possible to insert any item at any place. Just left click your cursor wherever you’d like to say something, ask a question, make a link (URL) or upload a file.

It is even possible to click your cursor and when the Shuttle appears, just start typing.

And if you want more options, than once the Shuttle opens, click on the [+] sign and these options open. Choose the one you’d like to use. (Now explore and enjoy):

To delete what you have written, open the Shuttle on this item, click [Edit] then Archive and it is removed.
