Context menu

The context menu is the right-click menu in the editor. It groups the most common actions, clipboard, formatting, insert and more, right where you are working.

What it offers

The menu is split into sections. Some entries appear only when text is selected, or only when that capability is available on the surface.

  • Clipboard: Select all, Cut, Copy, Paste.
  • Formatting (only when text is selected): Bold, Italic, Underline, As heading (submenu with Heading 1, 2 and 3), As list (submenu with bullet list and numbered list), and As quote.
  • Insert: Insert @-mention (when the Story Bible is active for the book) and Horizontal rule.
  • Story Bible: Search in Story Bible searches the selected text in the Story Bible and opens a match (only when text is selected and the Story Bible is active).
  • Snapshot: Take snapshot saves the chapter's current state (chapter editor only).
  • Words: an info row at the bottom shows the word count as selection/total, the words in the selection and in the whole text.

How to use it

  1. Right-click anywhere in the editor.
  2. Choose an entry. For As heading and As list, hovering opens a submenu with the variants.
  3. For the formatting entries, select the text first and then open the menu, the formatting sections appear only then.

Where to find it

The context menu is available on every rich-text surface in the editor:

  • the chapter editor of a prose book,
  • the text field of a picture-book page,
  • the description of a Story Bible entry.

Which entries appear depends on the surface: Take snapshot is in the chapter editor only, and the Story Bible entries appear only when the Story Bible is active for the book.

Tips

  • The clipboard entries match the usual shortcuts (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V), which are shown alongside them in the menu.
  • Insert @-mention inserts an @ and opens the Story Bible autocomplete, so you can link a character, a setting or another entity directly.
  • The word-count row is a quick check: select a paragraph to see how many words it has without opening a separate panel.
