I was planning a global mouse-menu enable option in the menu options menu.
Probably a per-menudef overide would make sense too.

I have also been thinking a lot about how we will need separate support for
mouse-menus and touch-menus, since hover is pretty meaningless in touch
mode.

One possibility I was thinking of was that if you touch and drag up or down
it changes your selection, but if you touch and release with no drag, then
it confirms the current selection. I'll have to give it a test to see if it
actually feels usable. (fortunately I have a touch-screen laptop now, so
I'll be able to test this sort of thing without having to go through a full
android build+deploy each time I want to iterate a test)
