I am looking at this, but the documentation says that it will create a Customize Toolbar... menu.
What I am looking for is a way to have NSToolbar respond to the right click and display context menu where one of the item is "Customize...".
Will this functionality be turned on or I will have to do something extra? If I do, then what?
TIA!
If allowsUserCustomization is YES, the toolbar provides a context menu with a “Customize Toolbar…” item. You don't have to do anything else to make this menu work.
In Xcode's macOS application template, the View menu of the menu bar contains a “Customize Toolbar…” menu item which is enabled or disabled automatically based on the setting of allowsUserCustomization of the front window's toolbar. You don't have to do anything to make this work either.
If your app's main menu doesn't have the “Customize Toolbar…” menu item under any submenu, you can add one yourself by dragging a menu item out of the Objects Library. Connect the menu item's action to First Responder's runToolbarCustomizationPalette:.
I'm using Visual Studio 2017, and I really need a menu with useful buttons in the toolbar, now when I got into the customization menu TOOLS -> Customize -> Commands.
I made a custom menu "MY_MENU" and menu item "Close Project", but for some reason I just can't move the menu item into the menu (see picture). How do I do this?
I believe I had the same problem as the questioner, and managed to solve it, details below.
Note: I use Visual Studio 2015 Professional, but this should apply to later versions as well.
Scenario
I created a new Toolbar FooToolBar, and placed to the toolbars like this:
Goal
To place the "Solution explorer" icon inside the menu.
Problem
Inside the Customize window you can't just drag&drop the item to the menu:
Solution
Inside the Toolbar combobox, a new item appeared, select that:
After this, you will see a new area where you should place the icon you wanted to.
Also, remove the previous icon from the previous, FooToolBar toolbar item.
After doing this, press OK and it will work.
Result
I hope I helped someone. :-)

I'm not sure if this is possible, but can the context menu in windows that appears when you right click be removed and just have it perform one function. For example... if I right click over an input I see a menu with options: undo,cut,copy,paste,delete. I want no menu to appear and right click to do one thing only, PASTE. I don't want to choose paste from a menu, just do it instantly when I right click.
Specifically, I'm trying to select iTunes' menu item "File > Library > Export Library" but it interprets clicking on "File" as locking AI's focus, rather than activating file. The NEXT click activates the File menu, but then I can't switch the focus to the menu item I'm really interested in?
Press optionspace after the first click on "File", then move the cursor through the menu, then optionspace again to lock on the element you want.
I install TortoiseSVN. It add "update" menu item to right click menu. And this menu item 's
hotkey is "u". Unfortunately, the "undo XXX" menu item 's hotkey is "u", too.
Sometimes I right click on the desktop or inside a folder and press "u". It will trigger the "undo XXX" menu item when this menu item is enable, but I want to trigger "update" menu item. It's a great inconvenience to me.
How can I disable the "undo XXX" menu item, or change the hotkey of the "undo XXX" menu item, or fix it?
You can disable the accelerators on the context menu.
It's in the advanced settings page. Look for ShellMenuAccelerators.
