Control windows using screensets

Create, recall, and switch screensets

You position windows in a layout that suits the way you work. This layout of various windows,
including their display size, zoom levels, position, and other settings, is called a screenset. Once
defined, you can save, and freely switch between different screensets, much as you might
between different computer displays.

Screensets are numbered from 1 to 99 (using only the 1 to 9 computer keys—the 0 key is
assigned to the Stop command by default).

You don’t need to save screensets with an explicit command. It happens automatically, as soon
as you switch to another screenset. Thus, without any effort, your current working view is always
stored as the current screenset.

Create a screenset

1

Press any numerical key except 0; for example, 7.

For two-digit screensets, hold down Control while entering the first digit.

2

Arrange your windows, including changes to zoom settings, the relationship of the Tracks area

and editor, open or closed inspector and Browsers or List Editors areas, and so on.

Note: When you choose a screenset number that has not been saved, a maximized main
window opens.

Recall or switch between screensets
Do one of the following:

m

Type the number of the screenset (1 to 9).
For two-digit screensets, hold down Control while entering the first digit.

m

Choose the screenset from the Screenset menu.

m

Use the Next Screenset or Previous Screenset key commands.

Note: Screensets 1 to 9 can be recalled by freely defined key commands, not only the number
keys on your computer keyboard. This allows you to use the number keys for other purposes,
such as opening or closing windows. The 1 to 9 key commands are called Recall Screenset 1–9 in
the Key Commands window.
