Customizing the Menu 'Tools'

You can add several commands to the menu 'Tools', that allow you to invoke external tools. This is a very powerful feature. Using placeholders for the 'Arguments', this feature allows you to integrate external tools like spell checkers and other tools which should work with the current document or currently selected word or elements like that.

To customize the menu 'Tools', open the dialog Customization and select the tab 'Tools'.

The meanings of the controls are:

'Menu contents'
  A list of the menu items to display in the menu 'Tools'.
  You can create a new entry by choosing the new button (rectangle), remove the selected entry by choosing the delete button (cross) and move the selected entry up or down in the menu by choosing the up or down button.
  To change the entry name, simply select an item and press 'F2'.
'Command'
  Specify the full path of the application to start, when the selected entry will be choosen.
'Arguments'
  Specify which arguments to pass on the command line to the application. You can use place holders for dynamic arguments.
'Initial directory'
