Contextual Menu of Text Content

Within the text content editing mode for any type of text, except string text, pressing within text bounding rectangle invokes the following contextual menu:

Outside the text content editing mode the same action invokes the contextual menu of the whole text containing different set of commands.

The set of commands available in the menu depends on which element of the text content is selected when the menu is called, as well as on the presence of elements of a certain type in the current text. To call the command, hover the cursor over it and click . For some commands, the following ways of calling from the keyboard are additionally available:

•Hotkeys or key combinations
If a hotkey or key combination is available for the command, it is displayed on the right side of the menu bar. Calling commands in this way is also possible outside of this menu.

•Quick selection keys
If any letter of the command name in the menu is underlined, then you can call this command by pressing the appropriate key. This method of calling works only when the menu is displayed on the screen. Different language versions use different shortcut keys. In some cases, different commands may have the same quick selection key. E.g. on the image above you can see that the <P> key is used for three commands at once: Paragraph, Paste and Parameters. In this case, pressing a key does not trigger a command, but only highlights its line in the menu. Repeated keystrokes will sequentially switch the highlighting between these three commands. After the necessary command is highlighted, you need to press <Enter> to call it.

 

The following items may be available in the menu:

Opens the font parameters dialog for the selected content. If no content is selected, the parameters are applied to the current position of the text cursor.

Opens the paragraph parameters dialog for the selected content. If no content is selected, the parameters are applied to the current position of the text cursor.
