Guidelines:Submenus
From KDE-HIG_Wiki
A submenu appears when the user focuses its title, which is a menu item in a higher-level menu. It is marked as a title by a small arrow symbol beside its label. In submenus, related commands or settings are grouped in order to shorten the higher-level menu.

Guidelines
- Use submenus sparingly, and avoid more than one sublevel.
- Provide accelerator keys for every item in the submenu (see section Keyboard Accelerators).
- Organize items in a submenu according to the guidelines (see section Designing Menus).
[edit]
Rationale
Deep menu hierarchies should be avoided as they are hard to memorize, and physically difficult to navigate.
