   I been searching for this answer, i have a child-theme set up for my Twenty Twelve and i want to create a page that will list all my categories with the post titles posted in every category, i then want to post that page as a link in the top horisontal menu, how would i do that?

   I think you can set up a Custom Menu to include your categories in Appearance > Menus section of the dashboard.

   Hmm, not really what i was after. I want to have a link that leads me to a page where all categories are listed + the post titles. So basiclly i want to create a single page that fetches the categories i have (with post-titles) then have a link to that page in the top menu

   For the single page part, you can create a template file in your Child Theme and play about with the category function.
   E.g;
   

   <?php
    $categories = get_categories();
   
    foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
     echo $category->name;
    }
   ?>

   You can use shortcodes to display categories posts using "List category posts" plugin.

   Then, create a new page template, get the categories list with get_categories() and for each category call WP_Query() with category id as argument and list posts.

   So you can create a new page in WordPress admin and assign to it the new page template.
