Does the built-in menu support wide columns? I have a menu that is getting to be too full vertically. Cascading leads to unnatural grouping and more clicks. Instead I would like to display it horizontally in two columns. Is this possible?

Not with the core menu widget. It should be possible to create a
meta/mega widget that does this. A menu is just a special case of a
toplevel without window manager controls (eg with wm overrideredirect
.. 1). You could create such a two column menu widget using SNIT.

If you are using windows only, you can try TkRibbon.

Nevermind my previous followup. Look at the -columnbreak option to the
menu's add method:
-columnbreak value
When this option is zero, the entry appears below the”‚
previous entry. When this option is one, the entry
appears at the top of a new column in the menu.
(It really does pay to read the man pages *carefully*!)
