Component body
Better Jump Menu is a module who provides:
- The Drupal menu blocks with menu links in a select box instead of a list.
- A Views style plugins to display links into a select box.
- It can display any entity field in a select list, see features below.
This module has been made to cope with bugs in the original CTools implementation but some new features has been added.
Features
- Properly indent options if there's a hierarchy in the links
- Try to use most of the existing API from CTools.
- Open links in a new window.
- Do not alter the registry at all.
- Support the book core module by providing appropriate blocks
- Support taxonomy (through Views) and its hierarchy (through Views Term Hierarchy Weight Field).
- Support menu links (through Entity Menu Links) and its hierarchy (through Views Term Hierarchy Weight Field module).
- Predefined views templates are available when Entity Menu Links is enabled.
Todo:
- Provide an option to open links in a new window.

Why two modules doing the same
At the time of writing my module, I wasn't aware of the other module. I wrote to the maintainer to explain the situation and see how we are going to deal with it. Having two modules doing the same features is a source of problem for everyone.
