Context menu commands
When you right-click an item in the content pane, the context menu for this item is shown. This menu provides access to all the functions available for the selected item.
The following table lists and explains the commands for managing the favorites lists and their contents. Other commands, functionally, are similar to those in the Project tool window.
| Item | Shortcut | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rename Favorites List | Use this command to change the name of the selected list.
In the New Name For Favorites List dialog, edit the name of the list and click OK. | |
| Remove From Favorites | Ctrl+DeleteCommand Delete | Use this command to delete the selected list or list item.
Note that there may be list items corresponding to certain structures (for example, folders with subfolders and files inside). These may be deleted only as a whole, that is, you cannot delete their individual structural elements. To differentiate between the list items and their structural elements (if any), you can use the path information as a visual hint. Such information is shown for favorites list items but not for their elements. |
| Delete Favorites List '<list_name>' | Use this command to delete the list with the name <list_name>. As a rule, this is the list selected in the tool window. | |
| Delete All User-Defined Lists Except '<list_name>' | Use this command to delete all user-defined favorites lists except the one with the name <list_name>. (The list with the name <list_name>, as a rule, is the one currently selected in the tool window.) | |
| Add to Favorites | Use this command to add (i.e. copy) the selected list item to a different list.
To add the item to an existing favorites list, select the target favorites list. To add the item to the list that does not yet exist, select Add To New Favorites List. In the Add New Favorites List dialog, specify the name of the new list and click OK. As a result, a new list is created and the selected item is added to this list. | |
| Send To Favorites | Use this command to move the selected list item to a different list.
To move the item to an existing favorites list, select the target favorites list. To move the item to the list that does not yet exist, select Send To New Favorites List. In the Add New Favorites List dialog, specify the name of the new list and click OK. As a result, a new list is created and the selected item is moved to this list. |
