The term bang menu comes from IT . A bang menu is used when there is a button at the top level of the hierarchy of a menu . No selection with functions or other cascading menus opens, but a function of the program is executed immediately . Such buttons could be recognized by the exclamation mark at the end of the button text.

Nowadays, bang menus are mostly a thing of the past. In the past they were often used in programs for software developers. The function for compiling the source text was often implemented as a Bang menu. Such direct function calls are now implemented using toolbars .

As a result of this misleading, this practice became less and less important.
