The first step in migrating the documentation to Upsource. This has the added benefit of tying us to a specific version in case of code drift. Future migrations will be required in order to use method links (when supported).

class, whose `actionPerformed` method is called when the menu item or toolbar button is selected.
|
|
The system of actions allows plugins to add their own items to IDEA menus and toolbars.

Actions are organized into groups, which, in turn, can contain other groups.
|
|
A group of actions can form a toolbar or a menu. Subgroups of the group can form submenus of the menu.
|
|
You can find detailed information on how to create and register your actions in

[IntelliJ IDEA Action System](/basics/action_system.md).
