X Northern Captain has User Menu, that allows store and execute User commands by pressing on menu items or associated hot key. XNC reads User menu file (~/.xnc/xnc.menu) at startup and then activates it and shows contents when 'Menu'[F2] key is pressed. After that user can choose menu item and activate it with mouse or by hot key.
User menu file is a simple text file where each line define user command, and hot key for it.

Format of the user menu string:

> #Comments begin with this sign
> Hot_key: Menu Item Name: command
> Hot_key: Menu Item Name: command %s
> Hot_key: Menu Item Name: command %s/%s
> Hot_key: Menu Item Name: command %p(PWName)

where:

> Hot_key - any key that will be associated with command. For example: 'F3', 'x', 'Escape'.
> command - one or more command(s) separated with spaces.
> %s - Current file without path.
> %s/%s - Current file with full path. Command runs in opposite (inactive) panel directory with full path filename from the current panel.
> %p(PWName) - Shows Prompt Window with 'PWName' in Window title, waits input and then execute command with this input.

To add/edit User menu file choose in upper menu 'Option' then 'Edit Menu file'. Remember, if you are using external editor then you need to restart xnc after the changes were made.
