Edit Menu

 

Note: Command-key equivalents of the Cut, Copy, Paste and Clear commands are available in dialog boxes and can be used to insert text into or move text around text edit fields in dialog boxes.

• Undo (or ⌘-Z)

This command is not implemented in the current version of MacPattern and therefore dimmed.

• Cut (or ⌘-X)

This command is only available in dialog boxes.

• Copy (or ⌘-C)

This command copies selected text from a results or database entry window and places it in the Clipboard. It replaces the current contents of the Clipboard (if there are any).This command can be used to transfer text from MacPattern to other programs.

• Paste (or ⌘-V)

This command is only available in dialog boxes. It can be used to insert text, e.g. pattern descriptions, from other programs into MacPattern’s dialogs.

• Clear

This command is only available in dialog boxes.

• Select All (or ⌘-A)

This command selects all text or all entries in the currently active window.

• Select None

This command deselects all text or all entries in the currently active window.

• Rename Set…

This command allows you to rename the currently active entry set of a database file. To learn more about entry sets, see the help topic ‘Entry Sets’.

The following dialog box will appear:

Enter the new name for the current set (maximum of 15 characters) and click OK. Clicking the Cancel button leaves the current set unchanged.

• Select Set…

Use this menu command to select any of the eight available entry sets (see help topic ‘Entry Sets’). After choosing this menu command you will see the following dialog which shows the name of the currently active entry set:

To select a different one, just click on the box that contains the name of the current set and hold down the mouse button. A pop-up menu appears which lists all available entry sets:

Select a set from this list and click the OK button, or click Cancel to leave the dialog without changing the current set.

A quicker way of changing sets is to use the pop-up menu in a database browser window (see ‘Windows’).
