Create custom menu items by referencing your existing buttons

[lewis]

I'm not sure if anyone is aware that you can create custom menu items by referencing your existing buttons.

Create an @menu>@item 'name' node with a matching @button 'name' already present in your working or myLeoSettings leo file. There is no need to have any body text in the @item node. All that's required is for the names to match, it will be recognised and show as a menu item.

​Nice.  I rather doubt I knew this explicitly ;-)

It seemed like an unintended 'feature' to me :)

​@command and @button create commands, so I see no reason to do anything about this situation.  Does it bother you?

Not at all
