# Falkon Python Tutorial - 4. Adding entry to the extension menu
Hello, in this chapter I will show you how to add an entry to the extension menu.
The extension menu is located at `Tools`: `Extensions`.
![Extension menu](../images/Tutorial4/ExtensionMenu.png)
In this example extension you will see popup [message box](https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/PySide2/QtWidgets/QMessageBox.html) with 'Tutorial 4 - Message from extension menu' after you click on the menu entry.
![Extension menu](../images/Tutorial4/MessageBox.png)
To add an entry to extension menu the `populateExtensionsMenu(self, menu)` method has to be implemented in plugin class.
The reason can be found in the [source code](https://github.com/KDE/falkon/blob/master/src/lib/plugins/plugininterface.h)

In this example the action will show messagebox[1] with 'Tutorial 4 - Message from extension menu'.
The full code can be found at [extensions/Tutorial4](../extensions/Tutorial4)
**Note:** Always create an instance of Action in `populateExtensionsMenu`.
It will be deleted / destroyed when the menu is hidden.
Do **not** try to add keyboard shortcut to the action used to construct the menu, it will not work properly.
