Is it possible to filter out menu items

[wfortin]

I would like to remove certain items from the context menu, I was wondering if that was possible somehow. I've seen how to add items (through MenuRegistry) but I'm not sure if its possible to hide/remove some.

Hi, I don't know if it's the best solution, but in my case I changed the getMenuItems from MenuRegistry, something like this:

    MenuRegistry.getMenuItems = function (this, id) {
      const result = menuItems.call(this, id);
      return result.filter((menuItem: IMenuItem | ISubmenuItem) => {
        const commandOrSubmenu = 'command' in menuItem ? menuItem.command : menuItem.submenu;
        return !commandOrSubmenu || stringFilter.matches(commandOrSubmenu.id);
      });
    };

This way, I maintain a list of "forbidden" menu items that I don't want to be shown, execute the original command with menuItems..call(...) and then filter the result.

Depending on what you are trying to do, menu items do have some condition based on context keys, and those context keys can be updated

We've also added a few more context keys for that purpose

What do you want to remove?
