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. If you have multiple object types selected (for example, folders and documents or documents of different types), the shortcut menu may show commands that are applicable to each of the individual object types. However, some of the commands may not be applicable to all of the selected objects in the same operation. For the best results, perform operations with selections of objects that are the same type whenever possible.
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.
See Personal Options on how to customize the PowerUser document, folder, and vault shortcut menus to display the commands that you want.
