New page

[[Category:Context_Menu]]
The pages under the [[:Category:Context_Menu|Context Menu]] category describe the various context menus that EiffelStudio will show when doing a mouse '''right-click''' in any elements of the UI. It is a shift from using the pick and drop mechanism but we are not abandoning it, it is merely a configurable setting and the default will be to show a context menu instead of starting a pick and drop operation.

You can see that every tool has a different layout for its context menu, but each time you will perform a right-click on a class/feature/cluster/library element new entries will be added to the context menu.

Let us know what you think about the initial draft.

 The pages under the [[:Category:Context_Menu|Context Menu]] category describe the various context menus that EiffelStudio 6.0 will show when doing a '''right-click''' or using the '''Context menu''' key on the keyboard. It is a change from previous releases where EiffelStudio used the pick and drop mechanism. The pick and drop is not abandoned since the behavior of '''right-click''' is configurable and you can switch back and forth between the two at any time.
-==What is replacing Pick and Drop?==
+==How it works!==
 You can see that every tool has a different context menu. However whenever in the past you could perform a pick and drop operation, you are now getting new entries in the context menu. The first entry in the context menu is '''Pick''' as we felt it was important to let novice users know about this mechanism. If you want to start a pick and drop directly without a context menu you can do ''Shift+Right Click'' instead (we could not use ''Ctrl+Right Click'' since this is already been used by EiffelStudio).
