Understanding the shortcut menus

Meridian features shortcut menus that can be opened in:

• Views in the navigation pane
• Revisions, References, and Project Copies view in the document pane
• Viewer window

These menus give you quicker access to the commands you use most without having to select them from the menu bar. The commands that are available are a subset of the commands on the menu for the selected object type. For example, the shortcut menu shown for a document contains a subset of the commands that are shown on the Document menu. For descriptions of the commands, refer to the corresponding menu topic.

You open shortcut menus by right-clicking the object or selection that you want to work with. Right-clicking also makes the item the selected item just like left-clicking does. Selecting additional items for the same operation (by holding down the Ctrl or Shift key while clicking) does not select a different item.

You open a shortcut menu in the viewer window by right-clicking anywhere within the window. The shortcut menu of the viewer window lists different commands depending on the format of the selected document. This shortcut menu is not customizable.
