Menu Entries

To customize a QUI menu entry there are potentially four resources that have to be changed. These are:

• The labelString resource that defines the text shown.
• The mnemonic resource that defines the single character abbreviation and underlining for the menu entry.
• The accelerator resource that binds a key combination to the entry.
• The acceleratorText resource that sets the displayed characters to show the accelerator.

For example, the Frame Up entry in the debugger Travel menu is defined by the following resources

qui*debugger*frame_up.labelString: Frame Up

Sets the text of the Frame Up menu entry in the QUI debugger

qui*debugger*travelmenu*frame_up.mnemonic: U

Sets the single character U as the mnemonic for the Frame Up menu entry in the QUI debugger. This character will be shown underlined in the menu.

qui*debugger*travelmenu*frame_up.accelerator: Ctrl<Key>U

Binds the ^U character to the Frame Up menu entry action in the QUI debugger. Typing a ^U character will be equivalent to use the mouse to select the Frame Up menu entry.

qui*debugger*travelmenu*frame_up.acceleratorText: Ctrl + U

Sets the text to be displayed next to the Frame Up menu entry to show the user the accelerator keys for the command.
