+*:menu* [*-c* _"<shell-cmd>"_] [*-e*] [*-b*] [*-a*] [*-d*] _<aerc-cmd ...>_
+ Opens a popover dialog running _sh -c "<shell-cmd>"_ (if not specified
+ *[general].default-menu-cmd* will be used). When the command exits, all
+ lines printed on its standard output will be appended to _<aerc-cmd ...>_
+ and executed as a standard aerc command like *xargs*(1) would do when
+ used in a shell. A colon (*:*) prefix is supported for _<aerc-cmd ...>_
+ but is not required.
+
+ *-c* _"<shell-cmd>"_
+ Override *[general].default-menu-cmd*. See *aerc-config*(5) for
+ more details.
+
+ *-e*: Stop executing commands on the first error.
+
+ *-b*: Do *NOT* spawn the popover dialog. Start the commands in the
+ background (*NOT* in a virtual terminal). Use this if _<shell-cmd>_ is
+ a graphical application that does not need a terminal.
+
+ _<shell-cmd>_ may be fed with input text using the following flags:
+ *-a*: All account names, one per line. E.g.:
+
+ '<account>' LF
+
+ *-d*: All current account directory names, one per line. E.g.:
+
+ '<directory>' LF
+
+ *-ad*: All directories of all accounts, one per line. E.g.:
+
+ '<account>' '<directory>' LF
+
+ Quotes may be added by aerc when either tokens contain special
+ characters. The quotes should be preserved for _<aerc-cmd ...>_.
+
+ Examples:
+
+ ```
+ :menu -adc fzf :cf -a
+ :menu -c 'fzf --multi' :attach
+ :menu -dc 'fzf --multi' :cp
+ :menu -bc 'dmenu -l 20' :cf
+ :menu -c 'ranger --choosefiles=%f' :attach
+ ```
+
+ This may also be used in key bindings (see *aerc-binds*(5)):
+
+ ```
+ <C-p> = :menu -adc fzf :cf -a<Enter>
