What is this This is a menu in which the height is dynamically adjusted to fit the number of items. It is also semi-transparent. For the full effect, see the sample screenshots below.
If there are too many items in your menu to fit on the screen, then you can scroll through the menu.
In portrait view it shows only one column. In landscape view, it shows only one column if it can fit all the items in one column, otherwise it divides all the items equally between two columns, so you can end up with two columns that can each be scrolled through.

How to use this Import the attached profile into Tasker.
To use this, run the attached task and send a list of your keywords separated by three commas ,,, as parameter 1, and set any custom variable as the return variable. In my task in the screenshots, I use %selected_item as the return variable in my sample screenshots. Having three commas as the separator allows you to make menu entries that contain a comma in them, such as the mobile network selection menu in one of my screenshots.
You can optionally send a single ignored keyword as parameter 2. If you tap on something that matches parameter 2, then the menu will not close and will only flash an alert message asking you to select something else. This is useful for making separators in the menu, like the ---------- in my screenshots below.
A 'Cancel' button is automatically added to the top of the list.
If you press the Back button, then "Back" (without quotes) is returned by the task. This is useful if you decide to nest a number of menus within each other. You can then use an if condition to check whether the returned variable matches "Back", and if it does, you can use a Goto to send the task to a higher level menu's starting point.
