Menus and menu commands
If you reassign a keyboard shortcut, change it on a printed copy of the matrix for future reference.
5
If you’re reassigning a keyboard shortcut, find the menu command that the shortcut is assigned to, and remove the
key="shortcut"
attribute from that menu command.
6
Find the menu command to assign or reassign the keyboard shortcut.
7
If the menu command already has a keyboard shortcut, find the key attribute on that line. If it doesn’t already have
a shortcut, add
key=""
anywhere between attributes inside the
menuitem
tag.
8
Between the double quotation marks (") of the
key
attribute, enter the new keyboard shortcut.
Use a Plus (+) sign between the keys in a key combination. For more information about modifiers, see the
description of the
menuitem
If the keyboard shortcut is in use elsewhere and you didn’t remove its other use, the shortcut applies only to the first
menu command that uses it in menus.xml.
Note: You can use the same keyboard shortcut for a Windows-only menu command and for a Macintosh-only menu
command.
9
Write your new shortcut in the appropriate location in the Keyboard Shortcut Matrix.
Pop-up menus and context menus
Dreamweaver provides pop-up menus and context menus in many of its panels and dialog boxes. Some context menus
are defined in the menus.xml file; others are defined in other XML files. You can add, remove, or modify items in those
menus, although in most cases it’s better to write an extension to make such changes.
The following pop-up menus and context menus in Dreamweaver are specified in XML files, using the same tags as
menus.xml:
•
Data sources (listed in the Plus (+) pop-up menu on the Bindings panel) are specified in DataSources.xml files, in
subfolders of the DataSources folder.
•
Server behaviors (listed in the Plus (+) pop-up menu on the Server Behaviors panel) are specified in
ServerBehaviors.xml files, in subfolders of the ServerBehaviors folder.
•
Server formats (listed in the Plus (+) pop-up menu in the Edit Format List dialog box) are specified in
ServerFormats.xml files, in subfolders of the ServerFormats folder.
•
Items in the formats pop-up menu for a binding in the Bindings panel are specified in Formats.xml files, in
subfolders of the ServerFormats folder. You can add entries to this menu from inside Dreamweaver by using the
Add Format dialog box.
•
The Tag Library Editor dialog box menu commands are specified in the
TagLibraries/TagImporters/TagImporters.xml file.
•
Menu commands for parameters in the Generate Behavior dialog box, which is part of the Server Behavior Builder,
are specified in Shared/Controls/String Menu/Controls.xml.
•
Items for context menus associated with ColdFusion Components are specified in
Components/ColdFusion/CFCs/CFCsMenus.xml.
•
Items for context menus associated with ColdFusion data sources are specified in
Components/ColdFusion/DataSources/DataSourcesMenus.xml.
•
Items for context menus associated with various server components are specified in XML files, in subfolders of the
Components folder.
