182 Menus and Menu Commands

About the menus.xml file

The menus.xml file contains a structured list of menu bars, menus, menu commands,

separators, shortcut lists, and keyboard shortcuts. These items are described by XML tags that

you can edit in a text editor.

A menu bar (tagged with opening and closing

menubar tags) is a discrete menu or set of

menus—for example, there’s a main menu bar, a separate Site window menu bar (which

appears only on Windows, not the Macintosh), and a menu bar for each context menu. Each

menu bar contains one or more menus; a menu is contained in a menu tag. Each menu

contains one or more menu commands, each described by a

menuitem tag and its attributes.

A menu can also contain separators (described by separator tags) and submenus.

In addition to the keyboard shortcuts associated with menu commands, Dreamweaver

provides a variety of other keyboard shortcuts, including alternate shortcuts and shortcuts that

are available only in certain contexts. For example, Control+Y (Windows) or Command+Y

(Macintosh) is the shortcut for Redo; but Control+Shift+Z or Command+Shift+Z is an

alternate shortcut for Redo. These alternates—and other shortcuts that can’t be represented in

the tags for menu commands—are defined in shortcut lists in the menus.xml file. Each

shortcut list (described by a

shortcutlist tag) contains one or more shortcuts, each of

which is described by a shortcut tag.

The following sections describe the syntax of the menus.xml tags. Optional attributes are

marked in the attribute lists with curly braces ({}); all attributes not marked with curly braces

are required.

Description

Attributes

name, {app}, id, {platform}

■ name The name of the menu bar. Although name is a required attribute, you can give it the

value "".

■ app The name of the application in which the menu bar is available. Not currently used.

NOTE

Be careful when making changes to menus. Dreamweaver ignores any menu or menu

command that contains an XML syntax error.
