Add the "do" menu to world main docking bar

Hi, there.

We have a convenient mini-script-shortcut feature: the "do..." menu, accessible via the world menu. Very easy to modify.

What about adding it to the docking bar?

Here is a change set that does that: do-menu.cs

You need to rebuild the menus after that. ("Extras" -> "Rebuild menus").

Best,
Marcel

+1. If we accept this, Marcel, would it be possible to add a drag and drop action to drag a text selection into the do menu to add to it? Or do you think that "edit this menu" is good enough?

Hi Eliot,

I don't think that menu morphs are good in accepting drops at the moment. One would have to think about it and add that feature first.

Best,
Marcel

Hey Eliot,

instead of Drag&Drop, which is challenging to impement at the moment, what about a simple "add from clipboard" entry?

Best,
Marcel

Keep the "edit this menu"; it's fine until we can do dragndrop. But "do" on the menu bar is IMO a must have :-)
