Rename

To rename a command or folder:

If you like using Keyboard Shortcuts, make sure to add anchors to command names. When renaming a command, add the & symbol in front of the letter you want to use in your Keyboard Shortcut. For example, to open a New Tab on Windows, the default Keyboard Shortcut is Alt or F10 + F + N. When you check the menu the anchor letters are underlined (see screenshot below).

To make commands easily discoverable using visual cues, add emojis to the command names. Use your OS’s emoji keyboard (Win + . / ⌃ ⌘ Space) to add the icons.

Reset menus

To reset the menu, click Restore Default Menu below the Content section. Only the currently selected menu will be reset.
