The Menu Editor plugin allows you to rearrange the jEdit menu (File/Edit/Search...), shown at the top of each view. You can rearrange the items in each menu, remove items from a menu, or add items to a menu.
The plugin provides a single dialog, which you can open using the plugin menu. The dialog shows the current menus on the left, and the available actions on the right. For each of the two, there is a combo-box at the top using which you choose the menu or action set, and a list below it showing the items of the selected menu or the actions in the selected action set.
To re-order items in a specific menu, select the items you want to move (multiple selection is allowed) and either use the up/down buttons to move them, or drag them to the desired position in the list.
To remove items from a menu, select the items, and click the right-arrow button, or simply drag them outside the list.
To add actions to a menu, select the actions from the list on the right, and either click the left-arrow button or simply drag them to the list of menu items.
The buttons at the bottom of the dialog:
The plugin stores the list of changes that were made to the menus, and re-applies them each time jEdit is started. This way, you don't miss changes made by future versions of jEdit (such as new menu items).
