Yes, I found out the "hard way", it is registered as "not to be installed".

I think that there is some sort of a mess, some sections exist under
ideintf and some under IDECommands.
Here are the strings at IDECommands:

const
  CommandCategoryToolMenuName = 'ToolMenu';
  CommandCategoryCustomName = 'Custom';
  CommandCategoryTextEditingName = 'text editing commands';
  CommandCategoryViewName = 'ViewMenu';
  CommandCategoryCodeTools = 'CodeTools';

I'm not sure if they are in use only with shortcuts or also menu items.
