113776 - New Navigator Window and New > New Navigator Window redundancy

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 37537

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, enhancement)

Description

[Jim Greenleaf]

In response to Bug 37537 and 63133, I would suggest this:
Remove File | New Navigator Window.  Keep File | New > New Navigator Window and
instead have the submenu itself (File | New >) also act as New Navigator Window.
 Thus removing the obvious redundancy yet keeping the inherent usability.

I tried to make a patch without succes.
I played a little bit with the file content/navigator/navigatorOverlay.xul. It
is easy to remove the File | New Navigator Window, but I couldn't find a way to
add a handler for the menu. oncommand works only with menuitems and onclick had
no effect (probably because there is a default action which is to display the
menu faster).
SO is this feasible?

Sorry about the duplicate...I think I accidentally hit enter while I was writing
it...
As for fixing it, I have no clue whether XUL is capable of doing this or not,
but I do know that some programs i have used in the past, at least on the Mac
(probably using Toolbox calls), do perform in the manner I described.
