Perhaps I have a poor attention span, but I've long had a problem with
keeping my key mappings and functions-present-in-menus in sync; I would
generally like to be able to do most things with a keystroke, and would
still like every such action available in a menu if brain fade prevents
me remembering the magic keystoke.
Thus today's exercise. Two functions, KeyFn and MouseFn to set a key or
mouse mapping and also record it in a menu:
# KeyFn menu desc keyname context mods "cmd-and-args"
DestroyFunc KeyFn
AddToFunc KeyFn "I" Key $2 $3 $4 $5
+ "I" AddToMenu $0 "$1" $5
# MouseFn menu desc button context mods "cmd-and-args"
DestroyFunc MouseFn
AddToFunc MouseFn "I" Mouse $2 $3 $4 $5
+ "I" AddToMenu $0 "$1" $5
Now my menu definitions are a bit wordier, but nothing will
slip through the cracks:
DestroyMenu WinOps
AddToMenu WinOps "Window Ops" Title
KeyFn WinOps "Desk Windows" L A M "WindowList (CurrentDesk) Alphabetic SelectOnRelease
[...]
KeyFn WinOps "Raise" H W CS "Raise"
KeyFn WinOps "Lower" H W CS "Lower"
MouseFn WinOps "Resize" 1 W M "Resize"
MouseFn WinOps "Move" 2 W M "Move"
Mouse 3 W M Move
[...]
Remark on that last: I often have mouse 3 do what mouse 2 does because I
switch keyboards a lot. So one incantation for M2 to put it in the menu,
and a conventional binding for M3 to match.
Cheers,

The wages of sin are death, but the benefits include dental, major medical,
two week paid vacation, pension fund, and stock options. Actually, taken as
a package, it's a rather attractive deal.
