LextEdit provides users the ability to construct their own custom commands to be quickly executed.  To create a custom command navigate the file menu to "View" and then down to the "Preferences" option.  This is where all of the application preferences can be found.  Next click on the "Custom Commands" tab. 

Commands can be created by right clicking under Custom Commands tree on the right side of the window and selecting the option "Add Command".

Users can also create directories to help group custom commands together to make them easier to find.  Custom commands can be built where they take in arguments so when executed a pop-up window appears prompting a user to input the value or values needed by the command.

Once a custom command has been created, a file menu item will now appear in the main LextEdit window with a drop down of all the custom commands.
