Extending browser's context menu

Hello list,

I was searching for the right (sustainable) way to extend the browser
menu. I searched for the menu labels (show "methods with strings in
it" etc.) but couldn't find it, so there must be another hook. Could
anyone give me quick pointer?

TIA,
Markus

myMenuCommandOn: aBuilder
<worldMenu>
aBuilder item: #MyStuff

myFullScreenMenuCommandOn: aBuilder
<worldMenu>
(aBuilder item: #'Full Screen')
parent: #MyStuff;
action: [ DisplayScreen new toggleFullScreen ]

Of course, #parent: could also point at an existing menu if you're just
adding to what's already there. Doesn't matter where you put these,
they're found by the <worldMenu> pragma.

Ramon, I think he is asking about BROWSER menus, that is, extending OB context menu ;)

Re: Extending browser's context menu

Thanks for the worldMenu pragma explanation - I wondered about that
one but not enough to really look into that one yet :)

So for the Brower, Browser>>#messageListMenu: aMenu shifted: shifted
is the right place to alter the method name context menu - right?

Regards,
Markus

I jotted down some notes on how some of the menus are built.
Might be something in there that helps.

Oops, my bad, wasn't paying close enough attention I guess.

No problem, it seems it was useful anyway ;)
