AliasMenu is a control panel that adds customized menus to the menu bar.
These menus work like the Apple menu: Each menu has a corresponding
folder and the menu automatically reflects the folder's content.

The menu name can be replaced by a custom icon, to get a nice layout
or to save room in the menu bar and add more menus.


Version 2.1 brings BeHierarchic support for hierarchical submenus.

AliasMenu 2 features:

* Menus are present in all opened applications.

* The number of menus is unlimited.

* Menus can be added after the application's menus, or inserted before.

* Keyboard shortcuts are always active and can use any modifier key.

* Ordering menus and items is easy. Separators can be inserted and
removed on the fly.

* Items of any kind can be put into a menu: folders, applications,
documents, servers, scripts, and URLs. Use AliasMenu to create several
cross-application bookmarks menus, always available.

* Multiple launching: launch several items with a single keystroke or
menu command.

* Automatic text typing: put a text clipping in a menu to 'type'
its text in any application.

* AliasMenu can trigger FKeys from separate files, allowing the use
of an unlimited number of FKeys with user-defined key shortcuts.

AliasMenu is a $25 shareware. Secure online registration through Kagi
is available. Encrypted e-mail registration and other methods are
available within the control panel.
