Using "Load" to bring up a sub menu

[SkyFrontier]

Inside the script you'll find proper notes on how to set it up.
Basically, you have to manually set the collection of scripts under the '$a' variable - top of the script.
Then, follow the guidelines on my previous post in this thread so you'll tell the script which scripts will fall into which category.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean ?

You've supposedly bought SublimeText to work with scripts. So you already know scripts are just text files.
Then what do you think "Inside the script" means?

Obviously, I know what what Inside the script means, I don't know what is the written text inside the script !

//-set a simple caption, no script attached to it, immediately _below_ the group of scripts
// it will hold. This caption will name the respective group on the main menu.
//-logically, the last group will need a caption - it'll be the last entry at the "$a" variable.
//--if the last caption missing, the last entry on the main menu will still work, ie: will have
//--an accelerator, have an empty name field plus respective items count.

Unless you're not understanding what's written... in this case, my apologies. Let me know. Tried to make it the more straightforward I could, in ways newcomers could benefit out of it.

No, Sorry, I'm not understanding ?

Well.

Consider this:

Code: Select all

"exitnosave|:exitnosave"
   copytext ":exitnosave"
"rfo|:rfo"
   copytext ":rfo"
 echo hi;
"mru|:mru"
   copytext ":mru"
"myco|:myco"
   copytext ":myco"
"***group 1***"
"flatview|:flatview"
   copytext ":flatview"
"views|:views"
   copytext ":views"
"minitree|:minitree"
   copytext ":minitree"
"dp12|:dp12"
   copytext ":dp12"
"_____most used______"
"newtab|:newtab"
   copytext ":newtab"
"closetab|:closetab"
   copytext ":closetab"
"locktab|:locktab"
   copytext ":locktab"
"((( MIGHT HAVE USE )))"
"{drives_avl}|:{drives_avl}"
   copytext ":{drives_avl}"
"{drives_fix}|:{drives_fix}"
   copytext ":{drives_fix}"
"@@@ excluded @@@"
"ctb64|:ctb64"
   copytext ":ctb64"
 echo hi;
"%%% LAST SET %%%"

Open my script with a text editor (or rename its extension from .xys to .txt and open it using your default text editor) and paste the above set as a value for "$a". As you can see when you run the script, you'll have 5 categories:

Code: Select all

"***group 1***"
"_____most used______"
"((( MIGHT HAVE USE )))"
"@@@ excluded @@@"
"%%% LAST SET %%%"

holding a number of scripts.
Each category is set by putting all desired scripts immediately above it. Like this:
"scr 1"
commands
"scr 2"
commands
"group 1"

Group 1 will have "scr 1" and "scr 2" in a submenu. Continuing,
"scr 1"
commands
"scr 2"
commands
"group 1"
"scr 3"
commands
"scr 4"
commands
"group 2"

Now you told my script to group "scr 3 & 4" in a "group 2", so the final menu will appear like
"1 - group 1 - 1 item(s)"
"2 - group 2 - 2 item(s)"
-standard: "accelerator - user input group name - item count".

The "$a" variable can be found near the top of the script (see reference below*) and looks like

Code: Select all

   $a = <<<#
"exitnosave|:exitnosave"
   copytext ":exitnosave"
...
"ctb64|:ctb64"
   copytext ":ctb64"
 echo hi;
"%%% LAST SET %%%"
#;

Your only work is to replace the default set of scripts with your own one.
First, remove everything inside of it, leaving it like

Code: Select all

   $a = <<<#
#;

-observe that the "#;" characters MUST stay, otherwise everything will be flushed!

Then, position your caret in front of the '#;' and paste your set of scripts. Make sure that '#;' remain immediately below the pasted content, set the captions as described and execute the script.

and paste the above set as a value for "$a"

This is where I may be hung up ?

[SkyFrontier]

Check out my previous post in a few minutes - I'll update it focusing your point.
Chocolate time, sorry!

[SkyFrontier]

Chocolated.

[SkyFrontier]

-did it worked?

[CookieMonster]

I never did anything; you said you were going to update focusing on my point after chocolate time ?

[SkyFrontier]

Chocolated.

= done.
(ie, explanation post above was updated!)

... and paste the above set as a value for "$a"

How do I paste something with a value for "$a" ?

[SkyFrontier]

Something: your collection of scripts.
Paste: from a copy (ctrl+c) of something.
