I spend literally hours in writing the same case blocks over and over again. Then back in 2008 I started in writing Inkabell (Ink like paint and the 'kabell' came from tinkerbell, the helpfull fairy from peter pan). It was clumsy piece of lines but it helped much.
This is a menusystem like ncurses or dialog but entirely written in 'bash'. You can copy and paste it together if you want it even smaller.
At the moment the menu is very static. Im working currently on a more easier to use and even more flexible menu. There is a little demo included and a configuration menu. It even supports 2 languages (deu and eng) and you can freely add as many as you want.
There is currently no readme or manual or something. Just source the ink2_core.sh and run ink2_demo or open the ink2_menu_demo.sh and read the explanations there.
Have fun to use and experiment with it.

P.s.: use install.sh to 'install' it ;)
