v2.0 adds a MacOS Menu Scanner to the process to capture even more Command IDs.

To run yourself:

clone the repo on Mac
install dependencies: yarn
Launch the desired After Effects version
Update the version variable in parser\menu-scan-run.js to your After Effects Version (e.g. 2024, 2025, etc)
run the scanner: yarn scan (or just yarn scan-post if you already have generated the 1-results-raw-vvvv.txt which takes several minues)
wait several minutes for the process to complete
results will printed to: 8-merged-results-vvvv.json

See the scanner in /parser/menu-scan-run.js for more details
