I've create a new menu, named "favorite" and I want to copy my favorite programs into this favorite menu. How can I do that? Is there a manual or help for Alacarte?

    Copy the .desktop file from /usr/share/applications/ into ~/.local/share/applications and rename them and then edit them to include your menu (there is an option in each file to have it point to a submenu) – Rinzwind Feb 12 '18 at 22:29

As far I can understand - you use classic desktop (such as GNOME FlashBack or MATE DE).

  • Alacarte does not allow to do this simply.

  • But Mozo (its fork on MATE DE) has this functionality (install it with sudo apt-get install mozo). The following steps will help:

    1. start Mozo (on MATE DE by right-clicking on Applications menu or System->Preferences->Look and Feel->Main Menu);
    2. create new menu name favorite with New Menu button;
    3. drag-and-drop application icon between existing Menu "directory" and your new favorite menu.

Your idea works great on MATE DE.
