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 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.
