Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 2023 v10.0.0.154
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10
Is there a way by which I can tell Origin Pro that as and when I interactively click on menu options (to import a file, to plot something, etc), it should echo the commands corresponding to these interactive actions, so that in future I can automate these tasks by batch processing?
Many tools have such a capability, so I'm guessing Origin also may have it. Its a good way to quickly get familiar with the command interface, which is very helpful for quick batch processing.

Hello,
Great question. Yes, Origin has this feature. To tell Origin to echo commands:
- Open script window (alt + shift + 3)
- Type "echo = 7", press enter
- "echo = 0" will stop command dumping
This is actually a combination of echo = 1, 2, and 4, which tells Origin to echo script for any command that is executed, any attempted command that generates an error, and any command that is sent to the queue for execution. More information can be found here: https://www.originlab.com/doc/LabTalk/ref/System-vars
Another helpful feature is holding Ctrl + Shift when clicking on menu or toolbar items.

Finally, any dialog theme can be displayed as script by clicking the fly-out triangle button next to any Dialog Theme field:
Best,
