If you add custom menu commands to Dreamweaver, add them at the top level of the
Menus folder or create a subfolder. The Macromedia folder MM is reserved for the menu
commands that come with Dreamweaver.
Modifying the Commands menu
You can add certain kinds of commands to the Commands menu, and change their names,
without editing the menus.xml file. For more information about menus.xml, see
menus and menu commands" on page
The term "command" has two meanings in Dreamweaver. Strictly speaking, a command
is a particular kind of extension. In some contexts, however, "command" is used
interchangeably with "menu item" to mean any item that appears in a Dreamweaver
menu, no matter what it does or how it's implemented.
To create new commands that are automatically placed in the Commands menu, use the
History panel. Alternatively, you can use the Extension Manager to install new extensions,
including commands. For more information, see Dreamweaver Help.
To reorder the items in the Commands menu, or to move items between menus, you must
edit the menus.xml file.
To rename a command you've created:
1.
Select Commands > Edit Command List.
A dialog box appears, listing all the commands whose names you can change. (Commands
that are in the default Commands menu don't appear on this list and can't be edited using
this approach.)
2.
Select a command to rename.
3.
Enter a new name for it.
4. Click Close.
