Bug Description

Per the conversation on LaunchPad answers https://answers.launchpad.net/terminator/+question/402708, I would like to continue with the feature request for the custom commands menu to enable a tree style sub-menu layout

I had asked

```
Is it possible in the Custom Commands menu to make it setup as a tree with related commands grouped together? Right now I have about 50 commands and they are in a list based on the application they are for or main purpose but I would like to be able to have them show under a sub-menu tree. Like when going to encodings > other encodings where they are in a child menu. If this already exists I'd love to know how and also could the documentation be updated with it as well. I thought maybe it was just a

I was thinking something like instead of this

 general/Check swap usage
 general/Load investigations
 Netstat/Current SSH connections
 Netstat/SSH/Failed SSH logins

I could have

menu option Netstat opens a tree layer with Current SSH connections and Failed SSH logins

menu option general opens Check swap usage and Load investigations as options.
```

The proposed patch looked excellent to me but I am unable to apply the patch using Terminator 0.98-2 after trying to fix the formatting. I also checked against the trunk version and it was unable to patch as well so I haven't been able to test. I'm using Arch and Kubuntu 16.10 with the same version of terminator on both operating systems.

This is the proper bzr diff output that you should be able to apply cleanly.

Copy patch to same directory as the custom_commands.py file, cd into that directory and do:
patch -u custom_commands.py < cc_tree.diff

That is perfect and exactly what I was looking for.

Can that get pushed into the next release?

Thank you!
