The //Menu condition// looks for a matching menu in the system menu bar and tests its state.

You can look for a menu with a name that:

* exactly matches a specified string.
* contains (case insensitively) a specified string.
* matches a specified [[:Regular Expressions|regular expression]].

Alternatively, you can look for a menu based on its shortcut (eg Command-C), or you can look for a specific menu based on its path.  A menu path looks like this:

    Edit ➤ Speech ➤ Start Speaking

You can use any of these separators in the path:>, ->, =>, or ➤, with spaces around them as desired.

You can then test if:

* the menu exists.
* the menu does not exist.
* the menu is enabled.
* the menu is not enabled.
* the menu exists but is not enabled.
* the menu is marked (eg with a checkmark).
* the menu is not marked.
* the menu exists but is not marked.
