Windows

The Windows dialog selected from the Window menu allows us to open, close and manipulate windows, including docked or undocked windows The dialog is enabled when at least one window is open.

The Windows pane shares the same table-style, "grid" user interface used throughout Manifold where items are presented in rows and columns. The subject of commands and actions is designated by:

Current item - The cursor (dotted outline) indicates the current item, for example, the current cell in a table or the current row in a list. Click on an item to make it the current item. Only one item can be the current item at a time. Move the cursor from item to time using the controls listed below.

Selection - Red background indicates a selected item. Ctrl-click an item to select it or to de-select it. More than one item can be selected at a time.

	Close windows for selected items.
Switch to Window	Switch active window to the current list item.
Double-Click	Double-click on a list item to switch to that window.
Close	Close the Windows dialog.

Other Controls
<dotted outline>	A dotted outline indicates the current item.

Click	Click an item in the list to move the cursor onto that item, making it the current item.
Ctrl-click	Ctrl-click an item in the list to select or to de-select that item.
Ctrl-A, Ctrl-I	Ctrl-A is Select All, to select all items. Ctrl-I is Select Inverse, to invert the selection. A quick way to de-select all items is to do a quick Ctrl-A followed by a Ctrl-I.
Ctrl-spacebar	Select / Deselect current item.
Enter	Switch active window to the current list item.
Arrow Keys	Move current cell cursor up / down / left / right.
Ctrl-Home	Move current cell cursor to the top item.
Ctrl-End	Move current cell cursor to the bottom item.
Page Up Page Down	Move current cell cursor up or down one page's worth.
Scroll bar	A vertical scroll bar appears when there are more items than can fit into the display. Scrolling the display does not move the current cell cursor.
Scroll bar context menu	Right-clicking onto the scroll bar calls up a context menu: Scroll Here - Drag the scroll bar handle to the spot right-clicked and scroll the display accordingly. Top - Scroll the display to the top. Bottom - Scroll the display to the bottom. Page Up - Scroll the display up one page. Page Down - Scroll the display down one page. Scroll Up - Scroll the display up one row. Scroll Down - Scroll the display down one row.

Notes

List order - The Windows dialog lists windows in the order in which their tabs would appear if the windows were all docked. If we simply open windows without moving their tabs then their order will be the same as the order in which they were opened.

Windows, not Panes - The commands in this menu do not apply to panes, such as the Project pane, or other panes such as the Layers Pane, Info Pane, Select Pane, Style Pane, or Transform Pane, which are not windows but are panes.
