How do I hide default CommandMenu entries in SwiftUI on macOS?

I am trying to delete the default menu items of my SwiftUI App, like described in this question by JoeBayLD (How do I hide default CommandMenu in SwiftUI on macOS?)

None of the answers there seem to work and neither did I find another solution. Any idea how to delete the default items?

To achieve removal of all default menu commands in order to add your own, you can use the following Scene modifier:

var body: some Scene {
   WindowGroup {
       MainWindow()
   }
   .commandsReplaced(content: {
       CommandMenu("Your_custom_menu") {
           Button {
               //some action
           } label: {
               Text(verbatim: "Custom action...")
           }
       })
   })
}

Official documentation on .commandsReplaced modifier.

Please note this modifier isn't available in all OS versions, and it may affect built-in command of your product (first one after default Apple OS menu).

Here are the minimums:

  • iOS 16.0+
  • iPadOS 16.0+
  • Mac Catalyst 16.0+
  • macOS 13.0+
  • visionOS 1.0+

If you want to remove all of the default menu items you can use the .commandsRemoved() modifier on your WindowGroup

I recently went through this and was unable to remove the sections (File, Edit, View), so I settled with removing some of the items that didn't apply to my app.

This is what I ended up with. It doesn't include .newItem because I replaced it, but if you don't need it I would suggest adding it, otherwise users can create more windows of your app.

struct EmptyCommands: Commands {
    var body: some Commands {
        CommandGroup(replacing: .saveItem) {
            EmptyView()
        }
        CommandGroup(replacing: .printItem) {
            EmptyView()
        }
        CommandGroup(replacing: .undoRedo) {
            EmptyView()
        }
        CommandGroup(replacing: .pasteboard) {
            EmptyView()
        }
    }
}

Unfortunately, even if you remove all the items in a group, the group stays, even if empty.

There's probably a way of doing this using AppKit, but I didn't dig deeper because my solution was good enough for me.
