Custom Menus

[tbpassin]

In Leo, the user can add menu items and even entire menus by adding them to the @settings. I realize that VSC menus work differently, but I have come to depend on some of my custom additions. Some of them contain standard Leo commands, some my own command scripts.

Is there going to be a path to creating the equivalent of Leo's custom menus and menu items?

@tbpassin Can you show me screenshots of this in the original Leo? I'm curious to know how to use that and to see buttons made out of @settings instead of @buttons. :)

I didn't know about this feature. I'll take a look at what I can do to have a useful and practical equivalent.

Here's a screen shot with three custom menus on it, one of them open. The menus are Local, Bookmarks, and Check Files.

I have attached a zip file containing outlines containing menu-building code from @settings trees.

I thought this issue about 'Custom Menus' might be a good place to state (for further reference) that the status bar at the bottom of the vscode window can be filled with arbitrary clickable items, which on hover can also display arbitrary content. This is demoed in the latest 'LeoJS scripting samples' repository: https://github.com/boltex/scripting-samples-leojs

This stratagem could be the basis or something to replace LeoJS @button panel and/or customize the UI with direct access to @commands / @buttons.
