Shortcut, Menu, & Services Configuration
A Service is an action which is able to operate on certain selections.
Every time a PopupMenu is opened, all registered services are asked if they are
able to operate on the current selection. If they can't, they are not displayed
in the menu.
This panel allows to ...
- define shortcuts for the services,
- influence PopupMenu layout,
- suppress services from appearing in PopupMenus (to keep the PopupMenu small).
Suppressed services are further available only as shortcuts.
In the listbox on the left, all registered services are listed.
In the one on the right, each service may get configured.
Importance
If this number is higher than 90, the selected service is forced to appear at the
top level of a menu. MenuItems are also in the top level if there is only one service
in the category. (E.g., if only one tool is defined, no submenu containing only
one item is created.) Submenu items are sorted by importance.
"Don't show in .."-CheckBoxes
It is possible to hide certain services. They can be hidden in the editor only or in all
listboxes/treecontrols only, or in both.
Shortcut
By default each shortcut consists of two keyboard presses, one for the category (such as "New")
and one for the service itself.
The category shortcut can only be changed if the One-Key-Shortcut checkbox
is enabled. In this case only the given key is taken as a shortcut for the selected
service.
