Menu Selections
Menu Selections
Menus of items are used when you need to make one or more selections from a (potentially) long list. Click on the row you want to select: clicking on a row that is already selected will have the effect of deselecting it.

Where selecting more than 1 item would be valid you can "drag" (click, hold down and move) down the menu to select multiple items. Alternatively the <click> (start of range) .. <shift><click> (end of range) method (cf Windows) may be used. When the list is too long to display in the window you can use the vertical scroll-bars to move up and down it. A mouse scroll wheel can also be used to move up and down in these panels. The filter button allows a subsetof the selected entities to be offered, e.g. only those parts of a particular material type. See Using Filter to Limit What Appears in the Menu for more information on filtering. The menus are refreshed automatically after creation, editing or deletion of data; alternatively the [R] button can be used to refresh the button. By default menus will expand horizontally when you move the mouse into them in order to show more of their contents. This is described in Panel Behaviour.
