- README.menu : How tu use the internal menu?
-
- HOW TO ACCESS IT
- ================
- To enter in the internal menu, you just have to press on the last right
- routing key (named "I Z"). When this routing key is pressed, the menu will be
- presented to you (on the braille line) as follows:
- "-:tty help t"
-
- PRESENTATION OF THE MAIN MENU
- =============================
- Elements of a menu are always separated by spaces ' '.
- Clicking on the ":" character allows you to exit froom the menu. To
- activate an item, you just have to click on the space located just after the
- item's name. For example in the following menu:
- "-:tty help t"
- if you want to activate the item "tty" just click on the space located after
- the item's name, i.e. the space located after the 'y' of 'tty'.
- The last character of a menu is always a 't'. This indicates the Termination of
- the menu and implies that there're no more elements after the "t" letter.
-
-
- DESCRIPTION OF EACH ELEMENT
- ===========================
-
- 1) The `tty' item
- -----------------
- The "tty" element allows you to switch from a virtual terminal to another.
- In fact, in the Linux Operating System, there are six virtual terminals by
- default. This is useful if you're logged in with your username and want to open
- another session as root to perform specific tasks. This is although useful if
- you run a `ncurses' based program and want to have another shell to type other
- commands.
- When you click on this item, a sub-menu is presented to you as follows:
- "switch:1 2 3 4 5 6 t"
- The word "switch" indicates that you're in the "tty" menu. The ":" character
- allows you to exit from the menu. Numbers symbolize the differents terminals'
- numbers. As an example, clicking on the space after the "3" number will switch
- to the third virtual terminal. Clicking on the space after the "1" dumber will
- allow you to go back to the first virtual terminal.
-
- 2) The `help' item
- ------------------
- The "help" item allows you to enter directly in the on-line help system.
- When clicking on this item, a message "! On-line Help" will be displayed on the
- Braille line. Then, pressing a key will display its name and what action is
- performed. To exit the on-line help, press two times on the "*" (Beta) key, or
- two times on the "#" (Alpha) key.
-
- Other menu items will be added in next versions.
