Options

Personalized Menus and Toolbars

 

CheckBox2 Menus show recently used commands first

This option determines whether the most frequently used items will be placed in menus at first position.

If this option is enabled, frequently used menu items are "promoted" and displayed higher on the list. Unused and infrequently used menu items are visually suppressed and appear "collapsed".

 

CheckBox2 Show full menus after a short delay

This option is available only if the Menus show recently used commands first option is selected.

If this option is enabled, infrequently used menu items (if they appear "collapsed") will be automatically expanded after a delay upon setting mouse cursor (or upon selection with the Up/Down keys) on the bottom of the menu. Otherwise, the menu expands only after clicking its bottom-most button (or using the Ctrl+Down shortcut).

 

Reset my usage data

Resets the lists of recently used commands in the toolbars and menus.
