<h2><a id="desc">Description</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>General layout of a window:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><em>Titlebar</em>: Gives the name of the application, document
|
||||
or window. It's color (usually) indicates the focus state (active or
|
||||
inactive window). I say (usually) because some styles and themes do not
|
||||
provide different colors for focused or unfocused windows - although
|
||||
this is rare (and, I might add, cruel!).</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><em>Miniaturize button</em>:
|
||||
Clicking on the left button of the titlebar iconifies the window.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><em>Close button</em>:
|
||||
Clicking on the right button of the titlebar closes the window or kills
|
||||
the application.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><em>Resizebar</em>:
|
||||
The bottom part of the window. Dragging the resizebar with the mouse
|
||||
resizes the window.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li><em>Client area</em>:
|
||||
The window content. It can be an application, some text, a picture... </li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2><a id="focus">Focusing</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A window can be in two states: focused or unfocused. The focused
|
||||
window is the active window, the one receiving keystrokes. It's
|
||||
titlebar has a differentiated color (usually!). Dialog windows or
|
||||
panels opened
|
||||
from a main window, automatically get the focus. As soon as they are
|
||||
closed, the main window gets the focus back.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Two modes are available to focus a window:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><em>Click to focus mode</em>: clicking on any part of the window
|
||||
activates it.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><em>Focus follows mouse mode</em>: moving the mouse pointer over
|
||||
the window activates it. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2><a id="order">Reordering</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Windows can overlap other windows, in which case some will hide all
|
||||
or part of others. Clicking on the titlebar or resizebar with the left
|
||||
mouse button brings a window to the "front" (gives that window focus).
|
||||
Selecting a window from the window list menu does the same.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Some key bindings are provided and are very useful when a window is
|
||||
hidden behind others.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><em>Meta key + click on the titlebar with left mouse button</em>-<br>
|
||||
sends the window to the back and gives focus to the topmost window.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><em>Meta key + click on the client area with left mouse button</em>-<br>
|
||||
brings the window to the front and focuses it.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><em>Meta key + Up Arrow key</em>-<br>
|
||||
brings the current focused window to the front.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><em>Meta key + Down Arrow key</em>-<br>
|
||||
sends the current focused window to the back.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Many window attributes can be modified from the attributes panel in
|
||||
the window commands menu (clicking the right mouse button on the
|
||||
titlebar). From version 0.62.0, window cycling was changed to Windows
|
||||
style (Alt-Tab).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2><a id="move">Moving</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Clicking on the titlebar of a window and dragging it with the left
|
||||
mouse button pressed moves the window.
|
||||
The little box in the middle indicates the current position in pixels
|
||||
relative to the top left corner of the screen (+0 +0).
|
||||
Extra key bindings give more flexibility.
|
||||
- Dragging the titlebar with middle mouse button: moves the window
|
||||
without changing it's stacking order.
|
||||
- Dragging the titlebar + Ctrl key: moves the window without focusing
|
||||
it.
|
||||
- Dragging the client area or the resizebar + Meta key: moves the
|
||||
window.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2><a id="max">Maximizing</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Double-clicking the titlebar while holding the Ctrl key resizes the
|
||||
window's height to full screen.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Double-clicking the titlebar while holding the Shift key resizes the
|
||||
window's width to full screen.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Double-clicking the titlebar while holding both Ctrl and Shift keys
|
||||
resizes the window's height and width to full screen.
|
||||
Double-clicking the titlebar while holding Ctrl or Shift key restores
|
||||
the initial size of the window.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To prevent a maximized window from covering the dock, the "Keep on
|
||||
top" option must be selected from the dock menu.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2><a id="mini">Miniaturizing</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Clicking the miniaturize button (the left one on the titlebar)
|
||||
shrinks the window into a miniwindow with an icon and a title and
|
||||
places it at the bottom of the screen. Hitting the assigned shortcut
|
||||
does the same. (Default is Meta + m.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The miniwindow is different from the application icon in that the
|
||||
miniwindow cannot be docked.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Double-clicking in the miniwindow restores a miniaturized window.
|
||||
Double-clicking in an application icon with the middle mouse button
|
||||
restores all miniaturized and hidden windows of this application.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2><a id="size">Resizing</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The resizebar, at the bottom of the window, is divided into three
|
||||
regions: left end region, middle region and right end region.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Depending upon the region you click, the resize operation is
|
||||
constrained to one direction. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Clicking in the middle region of the resizebar and dragging it
|
||||
vertically changes the window's height.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Clicking in either the left or right region of the resizebar and
|
||||
dragging it horizontally changes the window's width. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Dragging with Shift key pressed gives the same result. Clicking in
|
||||
either end region of the resizebar and dragging it diagonally changes
|
||||
both height and width.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Key bindings give more options.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Dragging the window in the client area with the right mouse
|
||||
button + Meta key resizes the window.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Dragging the resizebar with the middle mouse button resizes the
|
||||
window without bringing it to the front.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Dragging the resizebar + Ctrl key resizes the window without
|
||||
focusing it.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2><a id="shade">Shading</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Double-clicking on the titlebar of a window shades it.
|
||||
This means the window rolls up to it's titlebar. A shaded window has
|
||||
almost the same properties as a normal window. It can be miniaturized
|
||||
or closed.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>From version 0.80.0, you can shade/unshade a window using a mouse
|
||||
wheel on its titlebar. This of course, assumes your system is able to
|
||||
manage a mouse wheel. The WMGLOBAL file in you $HOME/GNUstep/Defaults
|
||||
should contain two new directives : MouseWheelUp and MouseWheelDown.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2><a id="hide">Hiding</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Clicking the the miniaturize button (the left one on the titlebar)
|
||||
with the right mouse button hides the application.
|
||||
Using the middle mouse button unhides the application, simultaneously
|
||||
opening the windows list menu and selecting the hidden application.
|
||||
(Pressing both buttons at once with a two buttons mouse does the same
|
||||
on some OSes.) If this doesn't work, use the F11 key binding (the
|
||||
default) to open the windows list menu.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2><a id="close">Closing</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Clicking the close button (the right one on the titlebar) closes the
|
||||
window. When the close button has a different form (not an X), it means
|
||||
an application is running in that window.
|
||||
Double-clicking in this close button kills the application. This can be
|
||||
done too with <em>Ctrl key + clicking the close button</em>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Usually, it's much better to exit an application from inside
|
||||
(through it's menu, for instance).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2><a id="menu">Commands menu</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Clicking on the titlebar of a window with the right mouse button
|
||||
opens a menu containing commands applying to this window. The keyboard
|
||||
shortcut Ctrl + Esc can replace the click on the titlebar. Esc closes
|
||||
this menu.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>List of Commands Menu commands:</strong></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><em>Maximize/Unmaximize</em>:<br>
|
||||
Either maximizes or returns the window to it's initial state.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><em>Miniaturize</em>:<br>
|
||||
Miniaturizes the window (miniwindow). The keyboard shortcut is Meta + m.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><em>Shade/Unshade</em>: Shades (or unshades) the window.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><em>Hide</em>:<br>
|
||||
Hides all windows of the application. Clicking on the application icon
|
||||
unhides the windows.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><em>Hide Others</em>:<br>
|
||||
From version 0.80.1 it is possible to hide all others windows. The
|
||||
window list menu allows to unhide selecting the window to redisplay.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><em>Resize/Move</em>:<br>
|
||||
When this menu option is selected, the window is ready to be moved or
|
||||
resized (the little box with coordinates is displayed inside the
|
||||
window). Clicking on the titlebar deselects the option.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><em>Select</em>:<br>
|
||||
Obviously selects the window which then can be moved or resized...
|
||||
Reselecting this option deselects the window.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><em>Move to</em>:<br>
|
||||
Allows to move the window to another workspace (if existing!).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><em>Attributes</em>:<br>
|
||||
Opens the attributes panel to edit attributes and options for the
|
||||
window.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Five options are available in this panel: Window specification,
|
||||
Window attributes, Advanced options, Icon and initial workspace and
|
||||
application specific.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Window specification: Defines that the configuration will apply
|
||||
to windows having their WM_CLASS property set to the selected name.
|
||||
This is because windows can have different names.
|
||||
From version 0.65.0, you can select the window to get the right
|
||||
specification.</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Window attributes: selecting the corresponding checkbox allows
|
||||
to: </p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>disable titlebar</li>
|
||||
<li>disable resizebar</li>
|

|
||||
<li>start miniaturized</li>
|
||||
<li>start maximized</li>
|
||||
<li>full screen maximization</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Advanced options: selecting the corresponding checkbox allows
|
||||
to: </p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>don't bind keyboard shortcuts</li>
|
||||
<li>don't bind mouse clicks</li>
|
||||
<li>don't show in the window list</li>
|
||||
<li>don't let the window take focus</li>
|
||||
<li>keep inside screen</li>
|
||||
<li>ignore "Hide others"</li>
|
||||
<li>ignore "Save session"</li>
|
||||
<li>emulate application icon</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Icon and initial workspace: allow to </p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>choose an icon browsing directories</li>
|
||||
<li>ignore client supplied icon when selecting the checkbox</li>
|
||||
<li>define initial workspace</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Application specific: selecting checkboxes allows to:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>start hidden or with no application icon</li>
|
||||
<li>collapse application icons (from version 0.65.0)</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>From version 0.80.0 a new checkbox is available : "Shared
|
||||
application icon". It replaces the "Collapse application icon"
|
||||
checkbox. That is, you can have many open windows from the same
|
||||
application with only one appicon. This feature is on by default except
|
||||
for some incompatible applications. This behavior can be defined for
|
||||
all windows in the Window Specification inspector selecting the
|
||||
Defaults for all windows checkbox.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can revert to the old behavior changing SharedAppIcon to "No" in
|
||||
the WMWindowAttributes file, either in the global domain or in the
|
||||
local domain : $HOME/GNUstep/Defaults.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><em>Options</em>:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Submenu options allow to:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>to keep the window on top</li>
|
||||
<li>to keep the window at bottom</li>
|
||||
<li>to keep the window omnipresent</li>
|
||||
<li>to set shortcuts for the window</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Ten shortcuts are available as soon as they have been set in the
|
||||
keyboard shortcut dialog. The shortcuts to define are those named
|
||||
"Shortcut for window + figure". Then, using the defined shortcut gives
|
||||
the focus to the window.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><em>Close</em>:<br>
|
||||
Closes the window</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><em>Kill</em>:<br>
|
||||
Kills the application.
|
||||
Usually, an application must be closed from inside (menu or other
|
||||
means). This option is especially reserved for "emergency" cases.</p>

Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
General layout of a window:
|
||||
|
||||
- *Titlebar*: Gives the name of the application, document or window. It's color
|
||||
(usually) indicates the focus state (active or inactive window). I say
|
||||
(usually) because some styles and themes do not provide different colors for
|
||||
focused or unfocused windows - although this is rare (and, I might add,
|
||||
cruel!).
|
||||
- *Miniaturize button*: Clicking on the left button of the titlebar iconifies
|
||||
the window.
|
||||
- *Close button*: Clicking on the right button of the titlebar closes the
|
||||
window or kills the application.
|
||||
- *Resizebar*: The bottom part of the window. Dragging the resizebar with the
|
||||
mouse resizes the window.
|
||||
- *Client area*: The window content. It can be an application, some text, a
|
||||
picture...
|
||||
|
||||
Focusing
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
A window can be in two states: focused or unfocused. The focused window is the
|
||||
active window, the one receiving keystrokes. It's titlebar has a differentiated
|
||||
color (usually!). Dialog windows or panels opened from a main window,
|
||||
automatically get the focus. As soon as they are closed, the main window gets
|
||||
the focus back.
|
||||
|
||||
Two modes are available to focus a window:
|
||||
|
||||
- *Click to focus mode*: clicking on any part of the window activates it.
|
||||
- *Focus follows mouse mode*: moving the mouse pointer over the window
|
||||
activates it.
|
||||
|
||||
Reordering
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
Windows can overlap other windows, in which case some will hide all or part of
|
||||
others. Clicking on the titlebar or resizebar with the left mouse button brings
|
||||
a window to the "front" (gives that window focus). Selecting a window from the
|
||||
window list menu does the same.
|
||||
|
||||
Some key bindings are provided and are very useful when a window is hidden
|
||||
behind others.
|
||||
|
||||
- *Meta key + click on the titlebar with left mouse button*-
|
||||
|
||||
sends the window to the back and gives focus to the topmost window.
|
||||
|
||||
- *Meta key + click on the client area with left mouse button*-
|
||||
|
||||
brings the window to the front and focuses it.
|
||||
|
||||
- *Meta key + Up Arrow key*-
|
||||
|
||||
brings the current focused window to the front.
|
||||
|
||||
- *Meta key + Down Arrow key*-
|
||||
|
||||
sends the current focused window to the back.
|
||||
|
||||
Many window attributes can be modified from the attributes panel in the window
|
||||
commands menu (clicking the right mouse button on the titlebar). From version
|
||||
0.62.0, window cycling was changed to Windows style (Alt-Tab).
|
||||
|
||||
Moving
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
Clicking on the titlebar of a window and dragging it with the left mouse button
|
||||
pressed moves the window. The little box in the middle indicates the current
|
||||
position in pixels relative to the top left corner of the screen (+0 +0). Extra
|
||||
key bindings give more flexibility.
|
||||
|
||||
- Dragging the titlebar with middle mouse button: moves the window
|
||||
without changing it's stacking order.
|
||||
- Dragging the titlebar + Ctrl key: moves the window without focusing it.
|
||||
- Dragging the client area or the resizebar + Meta key: moves the window.
|
||||
|
||||
Maximizing
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
Double-clicking the titlebar while holding the Ctrl key resizes the window's
|
||||
height to full screen.
|
||||
|
||||
Double-clicking the titlebar while holding the Shift key resizes the window's
|
||||
width to full screen.
|
||||
|
||||
Double-clicking the titlebar while holding both Ctrl and Shift keys resizes the
|
||||
window's height and width to full screen. Double-clicking the titlebar while
|
||||
holding Ctrl or Shift key restores the initial size of the window.
|
||||
|
||||
To prevent a maximized window from covering the dock, the "Keep on top" option
|
||||
must be selected from the dock menu.
|
||||
|
||||
Miniaturizing
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Clicking the miniaturize button (the left one on the titlebar) shrinks the
|
||||
window into a miniwindow with an icon and a title and places it at the bottom
|
||||
of the screen. Hitting the assigned shortcut does the same. (Default is Meta +
|
||||
m.)
|
||||
|
||||
The miniwindow is different from the application icon in that the miniwindow
|
||||
cannot be docked.
|
||||
|
||||
Double-clicking in the miniwindow restores a miniaturized window.
|
||||
Double-clicking in an application icon with the middle mouse button restores
|
||||
all miniaturized and hidden windows of this application.
|
||||
|
||||
Resizing
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
The resizebar, at the bottom of the window, is divided into three regions: left
|
||||
end region, middle region and right end region.
|
||||
|
||||
Depending upon the region you click, the resize operation is constrained to one
|
||||
direction.
|
||||
|
||||
Clicking in the middle region of the resizebar and dragging it vertically
|
||||
changes the window's height.
|
||||
|
||||
Clicking in either the left or right region of the resizebar and dragging it
|
||||
horizontally changes the window's width.
|
||||
|
||||
Dragging with Shift key pressed gives the same result. Clicking in either end
|
||||
region of the resizebar and dragging it diagonally changes both height and
|
||||
width.
|
||||
|
||||
Key bindings give more options.
|
||||
|
||||
- Dragging the window in the client area with the right mouse button + Meta key
|
||||
resizes the window.
|
||||
- Dragging the resizebar with the middle mouse button resizes the window
|
||||
without bringing it to the front.
|
||||
- Dragging the resizebar + Ctrl key resizes the window without focusing it.
|
||||
|
||||
Shading
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Double-clicking on the titlebar of a window shades it. This means the window
|
||||
rolls up to it's titlebar. A shaded window has almost the same properties as a
|
||||
normal window. It can be miniaturized or closed.
|
||||
|
||||
From version 0.80.0, you can shade/unshade a window using a mouse wheel on its
|
||||
titlebar. This of course, assumes your system is able to manage a mouse wheel.
|
||||
The WMGLOBAL file in you $HOME/GNUstep/Defaults should contain two new
|
||||
directives : MouseWheelUp and MouseWheelDown.
|
||||
|
||||
Hiding
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
Clicking the the miniaturize button (the left one on the titlebar) with the
|
||||
right mouse button hides the application. Using the middle mouse button unhides
|
||||
the application, simultaneously opening the windows list menu and selecting the
|
||||
hidden application. (Pressing both buttons at once with a two buttons mouse
|
||||
does the same on some OSes.) If this doesn't work, use the F11 key binding (the
|
||||
default) to open the windows list menu.
|
||||
|
||||
Closing
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Clicking the close button (the right one on the titlebar) closes the window.
|
||||
When the close button has a different form (not an X), it means an application
|
||||
is running in that window. Double-clicking in this close button kills the
|
||||
application. This can be done too with *Ctrl key + clicking the close button*.
|
||||
|
||||
Usually, it's much better to exit an application from inside (through it's
|
||||
menu, for instance).
|
||||
|
||||
Commands menu
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Clicking on the titlebar of a window with the right mouse button opens a menu
|
||||
containing commands applying to this window. The keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Esc
|
||||
can replace the click on the titlebar. Esc closes this menu.
|
||||
|
||||
List of Commands Menu commands:
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||

|
||||
menu allows to unhide selecting the window to redisplay.
|
||||
|
||||
*Resize/Move*:
|
||||
|
||||
When this menu option is selected, the window is ready to be moved or resized

the titlebar deselects the option.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Five options are available in this panel: Window specification, Window
|
||||
attributes, Advanced options, Icon and initial workspace and application
|
||||
specific.
|
||||
|
||||
- Window specification: Defines that the configuration will apply to windows
|
||||
having their WM_CLASS property set to the selected name. This is because
|
||||
windows can have different names. From version 0.65.0, you can select the
|
||||
window to get the right specification.
|
||||
|
||||
- Window attributes: selecting the corresponding checkbox allows to:
|
||||
|
||||
- disable titlebar
|
||||
- disable resizebar
|
||||
- disable close button
|
||||
- disable miniaturize button
|
||||

|
||||
- keep at bottom
|
||||
- omnipresent
|
||||
- start miniaturized
|
||||
- start maximized
|
||||
- full screen maximization
|
||||
|
||||
- Advanced options: selecting the corresponding checkbox allows to:
|
||||
|
||||
- don't bind keyboard shortcuts
|
||||
- don't bind mouse clicks
|
||||
- don't show in the window list
|
||||

|
||||

||||
- Icon and initial workspace: allow to
|
||||
|
||||
- choose an icon browsing directories
|
||||

|
||||
- define initial workspace
|
||||
|
||||
- Application specific: selecting checkboxes allows to:
|
||||
|
||||
- start hidden or with no application icon
|
||||
- collapse application icons (from version 0.65.0)
|
||||
|
||||
- From version 0.80.0 a new checkbox is available : "Shared application icon".
|
||||
It replaces the "Collapse application icon" checkbox. That is, you can have
|
||||
many open windows from the same application with only one appicon. This
|
||||
feature is on by default except for some incompatible applications. This
|
||||
behavior can be defined for all windows in the Window Specification inspector
|
||||
selecting the Defaults for all windows checkbox.
|
||||
|
||||
You can revert to the old behavior changing SharedAppIcon to "No" in the
|
||||
WMWindowAttributes file, either in the global domain or in the local domain :
|
||||
$HOME/GNUstep/Defaults.
|
||||
|
||||
*Options*:
|
||||
|
||||
Submenu options allow to:
|
||||
|
||||
- to keep the window on top
|
||||
- to keep the window at bottom
|
||||
- to keep the window omnipresent
|
||||
- to set shortcuts for the window
|
||||
|
||||
Ten shortcuts are available as soon as they have been set in the keyboard
|
||||
shortcut dialog. The shortcuts to define are those named "Shortcut for window +
|
||||
figure". Then, using the defined shortcut gives the focus to the window.
|
||||
|
||||
*Close*:
|
||||
|
||||
Closes the window
|
||||
|
||||
*Kill*:
|
||||
|
||||
Kills the application. Usually, an application must be closed from inside (menu
|
||||
or other means). This option is especially reserved for "emergency" cases.
