Support Dropdown Dropdown Menu for Solid

A support menu with documentation and knowledge base links marked as external, and a way to contact the team.

UI library: Ark UI

Support opens Documentation and Knowledge Base under Get Help, both with an external icon, then Contact Us. The rows do not open a page by themselves.

Use it in a header when help should be one click away. If Documentation should stay visible, use a Navigation Menu. In Solid, Ark UI does not leave the page.

FAQ

What is in the support menu?

A DropdownMenuGroup with the Get Help label, a separator, Documentation and Knowledge Base; then a separator and Contact Us. The menu is w-56.

Which rows show an external icon?

Documentation and Knowledge Base, with an external link icon at size-3 pushed to the end with ms-auto. Contact Us has none, since it stays in the app.

Does Documentation open a page by itself?

No. It's a plain item. Open the page from its handler, or make the row a link.

Is Get Help a choice?

No. It's the DropdownMenuLabel that names the group, and it can't be focused or picked.

What does the trigger look like?

An outline Button with a question mark icon before the word Support.

Can I reach Contact Us from the keyboard?

Yes. It's the last row: press End, or Arrow Down twice from Documentation, then Enter. Escape closes the menu.
