View Menu

The View Menu contains commands that display or hide windows. The commands on the menu are:

• Project Manager -- Displays the Project Manager dialog.

• Editor -- Display the Editor workbook.

• Debug Window -- Display the Debug window.

• Clipboard -- Displays the Clipboard dialog showing the contents of the clipboard.

• Processes -- Displays the Process dialog.

• Console -- Display the Console window.

• Package List -- Displays the Package List dialog.

• Window List -- Displays the Window List dialog.

• Manage Windows -- Displays a submenu of window-management choices, mostly affecting the currently-selected window.

• New Listener -- Open a listener as an additional pane in the Debug window. The new listener will run in a separate thread, named Listener X where X is a number. You can close the new listener with the File | Close Pane while the listener is the selected window, or by clicking on the close box (the control labelled with an X in the upper right).

• New Editor -- Open a new editor workbook (a tabbed collection of text-edit buffers). Current editors are unaffected.

• New Inspector -- Open a new Inspector window, leaving any current Inspector windows in place.

• Extended Toolbar -- Display the extended (floating) toolbar. See Ide User Guide, chapter 2, section 2.3 for information on how to move items from the extended toolbar to the standard toolbar already on the Project Window.

• Toolbars -- Toggles between displaying and hiding the toolbars on the Project Window. Checked if they are currently displayed.

• Status Bar -- Toggles displaying and hiding the status bar on the Project Window. Command is checked if the status bar is currently visible.

• Background Window -- This command displays a background window below IDE windows to prevent displays from other applications from showing through. Clicking right over the background window displays a menu showing other visible IDE windows and allowing the background window to be maximized (to cover the screen) or unmaximized (just big enough to be a background for windows other than the Project Window). Also on that menu is a Save All command with the same effect as the Save All command on the File menu.
