Edit Gnome 3.8 Classic-mode Applications Menu
Does anyone who's used the new "classic-mode" in Gnome 3.8 (Fedora 19) know how to edit the contents of the Applications menu? Right-clicking on the menu has no effect. Of course it doesn't! What was I thinking? Anything that makes so much sense has been stripped from Gnome 3.x.
Classic mode looks to be almost a return to sanity, but I'd really like a way to fully customize the Applications menu.
This is too much cynicism to be a productive question. What kind of customizing are you trying to do? The menu entries come from .desktop files provided with the application they launch.
The added cynicism in no way diminishes the question; with or without, the question remains the same, though I will expand upon it: In Gnome 2, one used to have the option to edit the Applications Menu by right-clicking on the menu or running alacarte. Neither option is available now. I want to be able to edit the menu in the most simple and obvious ways: adding and removing application launchers, or recategorizing them.
Faustus has a point. Why in the world is there no working menu editor when we are on the fourth stable build of Gnome Shell? How many years should we wait to get back a standard feature such as a menu editor?
@petrochemicals: because no one has written a menu editor for gnome-classic yet? Why don't you go ahead and write one to help them? If you are this frustrated, why not just use MATE instead? A menu editor is probably just not very high on upstream's list of TODOs when compared to major tasks such as porting to Wayland.
And: you're going to have to wait as long as it takes upstream to finish their work, especially if you're not helping them speed up by contributing.
