When you first open the Menu Editor, it displays the menu bar or popup menu that you opened with any defined menu items. There is also a blank menu to the right of the last menu in the menubar and a placeholder at the end of each menu, indicated by a dotted rectangle.
To add menu items to an existing menu:
As you start to type, the highlighted dotted rectangle changes to a normal text edit field containing a cursor. The text field will scroll as you type to accommodate labels longer than the edit field.
The width of the list expands if necessary to display all the labels in the list, and a placeholder for the next menu item is automatically selected.
In addition to directly selecting items in the Menu Editor, you can use the arrow keys to move from the menu bar into a menu, and to move between items in the list; press Enter to complete an action.
