In Greasemonkey [[Version history#0.9.2|0.9.2]], this API was changed.
This method existed in a similar but different form before Greasemonkey 4.0.
Previously, it accepted five parameters including <code>accelKey</code> and <code>accelModifiers</code> which have been removed.
See [http://wiki.greasespot.net/index.php?title=GM_registerMenuCommand&oldid=6238 this page's history] for a description of them.
If a script passes all five parameters, in the old style, then the fifth argument is used for <code>accessKey</code>.

The last example is in the pre-0.9.2 format. The 3rd and 4th arguments will be ignored in recent versions of Greasemonkey.
GM.registerMenuCommand("Hello, world!", hello, "h");</pre>
