Doing this through bindings involves re-inventing a bit of stuff that NSResponder normally takes care of, but it need not be too difficult. For example, you could....

Or something like that.

Well, last year sometime I wanted to bind some menu items to values in the current document, as I believe you're trying to do. You can read of my saga in the list archives.

After you've considered Quincy's response, recall that bindings is an alternative which is supposed to make things simpler and reduce labor. I concluded that the bindings alternative does not fulfill its purpose when it involves menu items. Target/Action still works. For menu input, I target an action in FirstResponder, which will be the current active document. For setting menu status (the checkmark), I set a tag on the menu item and implement -menuNeedsUpdate. It's old- fashioned, but I found it to be simpler, cleaner and it works.
