Pull-Down and Pop-Up Menus

Pull-down menus open when you click on the desired menu item. Pop-up menus open
when you click on certain input fields or buttons.

In some menus, an arrow is shown beside one or more items, indicating a sub-menu.
To choose an item from a sub-menu, move the mouse in the direction of the arrow,
and then move vertically over the desired item. Click to activate the chosen command
or setting.

If you wish to select an item that is outside the visible section of the menu, move the
mouse over the arrow at the top or bottom edge of the menu. The menu will scroll.

Shortcut Menus

Shortcut menus (also called contextual menus) are accessed by Control-clicking or
right-clicking in different areas of various Logic Express windows. These offer a number
of selection, editing, and other area-specific commands, providing quick access to
commonly used functions.

Note: Right-click functionality is dependent on the Right Mouse Button: Opens
Shortcut Menu option being chosen in the Logic Express > Preferences > Global >
Editing tab.
