title: Providing more option in a table without context menu
body: <p>In my latest project I've been heavily using popup menu in all table views. The complete desktop application is written in java swing. In the whole application maximum of the reports are in table. Please have a look at the image I've uploaded. All the windows are full of compact data and complex calculations. As all the data is related to each other I've to link them using popup menu. But my client is not satisfied with the pop menu. Because-- </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Most of the time they use only laptops without mouse. </li>
  <li>They complains me that people/other employees may not know that the table can have a popup menu or he'll not right click to get more options. </li>
  <li>They use to complain me that it is not an user friendly interface. (After all they are not satisfied.)</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I've two questions: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is it really not an user friendly interface?</li>
  <li>Is there any way or alternative to context menu, so that when user clicks on the table he can see the more options? (in Java Swing)</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>(Please Note: I can add some buttons on the top of the window and programmatically show or hide them when the table row gets or loses focus. But It will not solve my problem. Because I cannot add more than 5-6 buttons in a row. Using toolbar only with icon is neither a solution. Buttons only icons without text will never be accepted by my client.) </p>
  
  <p>Please help.</p>
