 |Lightbar/Grid|Allows you to define the jumps between menu options based on the user's input.  It is more complicated to set up but allows for more intricate control over how menu input behaves.  The Up, Down, Left, Right, Home, Escape, Tab, PageUp, PageDown, and End fields can link to a command ID found in the menu.  When the user presses one of the keys while the command option is selected, Mystic will jump to the command ID defined for that key.  A series of menu commands can also be defined for each specific key press, and will be executed prior to jumping to the defined command ID.|

+Many menu commands can be defined to be executed by a single menu option.  The menu commands will be activated in serial order when the menu option is activated.  This allows for multiple actions for one menu command.  Each menu command can have its own access string requirement which allows for advance techniques such as command branching.
-=== Sub Command Editor ===
+A list of menu commands can be found in the [[menu_commands|Menu Command Reference]]
-Many sub commands can be stacked in one menu command.  The sub commands will be activated in serial order when the menu command is activated.  This allows for multiple actions for one menu command.
