Trying to Add New Option on the Menu!!

[Hoorebeke Enterprise]

Hello, I am trying to add a new option to the Menu Window, I wanted the key items aka Evidence out on the menu like in the picture below but I just don't know how to get the key item menu to pop up when I hit Evidence?

I don't know much about scripting but I am trying to learn it.

Any help is appriciated :3

What scripts are you using? Are you using a script to limit the menu to only a few options?

Nope, I'm not using a script to limit the Menu, I just went into the actual script of some of the RPG Maker basics and ended up taking out a few things that I didn't need.

Well then you know enough to mess with the code. But, you should not change the original scripts. Instead make a new script with that code to overwrite the original.
I asked about a script because you could limit the commands with yanfly's ace menu script. That may have been better as it would have also allowed you an easy option to add optional commands.
Maybe make a backup of you script file, start with a fresh project script file and put in yanfly's script, then modify that.

I believe you could direct to the keyitems with SceneManager.call(Scene_KeyItem) like it says in this post

This should work with Yanfly's Menu Script or on its own:
