Using contextual menus in File Buddy
File Buddy makes extensive use of contexual menus. In fact, many functions are only available in contextual menus.
Accessing commands in contextual menus
Control-click or right-click something in a window to open a menu containing commands relevant to that particular element of the window. An element in this context can refer to an entry in a list, a text field, any user interface object such as a button, or even an empty portion of the window.
Getting help
To view the help discussion most relevant to a specific element in a window, open a contextual menu for that item and select help.
Accessing additional features
Many functions are only available in contextual menus, and in other cases a contextual menu provides the easiest access to a feature. Contextual menus contain an extensive command set for items in List window lists, and many elements in other windows offer significant functionality via contextual menus.
