GM.registerMenuCommand

Description

This method allows user scripts to add an item to the User Script Commands menu.

Compatibility: Greasemonkey 0.2.5+

Syntax

function GM_registerMenuCommand( caption, commandFunc, accessKey )

Arguments

caption

commandFunc

Function The function to call when this menu item is selected by the user.

accessKey

History

In Greasemonkey 0.9.2, this API was changed. Previously, it accepted five parameters including accelKey and accelModifiers which have been removed. See 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 accessKey.

Returns

undefined

Examples

GM_registerMenuCommand("Hello, world (simple)", helloSimple);

GM_registerMenuCommand("Hello, world!", hello, "h");

GM_registerMenuCommand("Hello, world! (again)", hello2, "e", "shift alt", "w");

The last example is in the pre-0.9.2 format. The 3rd and 4th arguments will be ignored in recent versions of Greasemonkey.
