Hey @icoco,

after research, seem not official solution, is it possible set the menu via json configuration file ?

There are "official" solution to this: if you only want to hide the menu entries, you can just call MenuModelRegistry#unregisterMenu with the appropriate menu path. If you want to completely disable those features, I would recommend you our documentation on contribution filters.

another question is, how to intercept or listener the menu /action event ? eg, while file opened or closed event

For newly opened/closed editor widgets, you can hook into the EditorManager#onCreated event or similar events surrounding the addition/removal of widgets. Note that Theia doesn't really care about the underlying file source of a widget.

As for everything else: Read the code, the framework is pretty vast and offers basically limitless options to hook into events or modify behavior.

thanks for reply...

It works :

        menus.unregisterMenuAction(CommonMenus.HELP[CommonMenus.HELP.length - 1],  MAIN_MENU_BAR)
     
        menus.unregisterMenuAction(CommonMenus.FILE_OPEN[CommonMenus.FILE_OPEN.length - 1])
        menus.unregisterMenuAction("workspace:saveAs")
        menus.unregisterMenuAction("workspace:addFolder")
        menus.unregisterMenuAction("workspace:close")
