There are different, freely configurable menus in the Info-Base. The exact details of the syntax are described under the respective editors. Basically, these menus process unicode except for the menu title (before a "~"), the macros and the user menu, which directly accesses files.
In all these menus is "&" permitted that the individual menu items can be called up quickly and efficiently with the underlined characters after the Alt key (and released again) or F6 .
Also - except the Templates (!) - submenus (only one level !) are possible, if you write following lines after each other :
Submenu~1. Menu~link or command
Submenu~2. Menu~link or command
Submenu~3. Menu~is ignored~link or command
A dividing line in the submenu can be as: "Submenu~-~-" or so: "Submenu~-~" be entered.
More than 2 separators ("~") are ignored; the
actual command is after the last
delimiter. So you can easily group similar links or filters together.
F6 It is the only one of the user menus that
must be present. It is automatically created
if the file (Templates.ubi) was not found. The first 4 entries are necessary for internal functions
and are not displayed in the menu itself. It is used to store the templates for your own
data and notes and can be customized entirely to your own
wishes. In contrast to the other 3 menus, the length of
the menu item (especially after Ctrl+M
= to Templates
) is determined automatically until
the first CR/LF in multi-line templates. Otherwise as in
the other menus up to the first "~". Here are all kinds of frequently used links, as
they can occur in the text of the notes to choose from. They are stored in a text file in the program
directory (LinkMenu.ubi) and can
also be edited with a Unicode editor.
With Ctrl+L
in the Popup menu of the list of labels and the global search, the
respective link can be written directly into the Links
. This
makes it
easy to set up temporary bookmarks: Now a
link for this stack/note is available with Alt+L
until the end of the program. ALT+F These are stored filters or parts of
filters(not from global search) with up to 20 search
terms linked by AND. The filter (no matter if a single term or a series
is separated with the link delimter) is always additive (AND) if
a filter is already set. By repeated call the respective
element can that be deleted again from the filter. This
is very handy for complicated searches. Only with the search in the stack
and if a filter is set, the filter from this menu is
added with logical
AND. They are stored in a text file in the program
directory (FilterMenu.ubi) and can also be edited with
a Unicode editor. Mit Ctrl+F
in the Popup menu of the list of notes and the global search, the
respective filter can be written directly into the Filters ,if
not already (exactly)
available. Normally, when calling the stored filters
or parts of filters in the current stacking is searched. If you want
to search globally, you must first set the focus (with
F3 or the
mouse) to the input field of the
search. These keyboard macros are a (longer) series of keystrokes for
frequently used operations. Unicode is
not supported. This is done with the external program SendKey.exe
(must be in the directory of Infobase.exe
!). In this menu all possible programs (with or without parameters) and associated files can be
called up. Unicode is
not supported. They are stored in a text file in the program
directory (UserMenu.ubi) and can also be edited
.
Templates
Alt+T
Links
Alt+L
When
temporary links is activated,
these are deleted when leaving Info-Base, as long as they have no title
(before "~").
Filters
This function partially overlaps with the
Links and the user must decide on his needs and desires, which he
uses for what
purpose.
When
temporary filters are activated,
they are deleted when leaving Info-Base as long as they have no
title (before "~").
