Default Menu options

When using excel some menu options that are not used frequently eventually
are hidden by the system until you expand the menu, however when an option is
used once that option is displayed again until the expiration of the display
period and then it is hidden again.

I want to hide options that are used infrequently, either by reducing the
waiting period to hide again or by setting the option to hide manually. This
functionallity would greatly improve my use of the product by using
keystrokes rather than pointing with a mouse.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Default Menu options

One option would be to customize your menus.
You might create a new menu and call it unused and create submenus
that match the standard menu names where you can place commands that
you rarely use.
Or you could remove the commands you don't wish to see at all.
Or you could create a new menu or menus that contain all of your
common commands.

If you're using the keyboard to access your menus, don't forget to use
the & key to denote the Alt key trigger when naming menus and
commands.
