Whenever I add menu.cfg into printer config, it doesn’t override the klipper default LCD menu, it adds to it. e.g. I don’t want to see the ‘Octoprint’ option in LCD menu, so I remove that section in menu.cfg in printer config, but it still shows up on the LCD. I have to remove it from klipper\>klippy\>extras\>display\>menu.cfg for it to disappear. Or I want to reorder the items in LCD menu, but I have to do it to klipper\>…\>display\>menu.cfg instead of menu.cfg in printer config. I tried just deleting klipper’s default menu.cfg but it leads to error, I also tried replacing it with a blank file, still errors. I have to replace the default menu.cfg in klipper\>…\>display\>menu.cfg with my own for it to function the way I want. However, it keeps getting replaced every time I do a klipper update. Is there a way for menu.cfg in printer config to override default klipper lcd menu.cfg rather than just adding to it? ---

You need to disable menus you don’t want to see in your printer.cfg (or in an included cfg file like custom\_lcd.cfg for example). So to disable Octoprint you would add these lines: ```auto [menu __main__ octoprint] type: disabled ``` ---

Other parameters are listed [here](https://www.klipper3d.org/Config_Reference.html#menu). If you want to change the order of items you would use the `index` option. So an example with Octoprint that would move it down the list would be: ```auto [menu __main__ octoprint] index: 2 ``` ---

Disable is working for me but index does nothing. ```auto ### menu octoprint ### [menu __main__ octoprint] type: list name: OctoPrint index: 3 ``` and octoprint is still the first item. Even with `menu __main__ control` as `index: 1` octoprint is still the first item. ---

Same issue here, Klipper seems to ignore the index value of main menu items. ---
