The contents menu in the [[contents window]] can be used for operations on the [[Glossary#knowledge tree | knowledge tree]]. To open this menu press [[Keyboard shortcuts | ''Alt+F10'']] in the contents window or right-click over the selected branch of the knowledge tree. You can also press ''Apps Key'' [[Image:Application_key.gif]] (context menu key left of the right ''Ctrl'' key).
== Accessing the contents menu ==


The contents menu includes the following options:
The contents menu in the [[Contents|'''Contents''' window]] can be used for operations on the [[Glossary:Knowledge_tree|knowledge tree]]. To open this menu:


* '''New''' - add new elements
* press ''Alt+F10'' in the [[Contents|'''Contents''' window]],
** '''Item''' - create a new item as a child of the selected element
* right-click over the selected [[Glossary:Branch|branch]] of the [[Glossary:Knowledge_tree|knowledge tree]], or
** '''Topic''' - create a new topic as a child of the selected element
* press ''Apps Key'' ([[Image:Application key.gif|Application key allows you to open a pop-up menu relevant for the current context]]) (context menu key left of the right ''Ctrl'' key).
** '''Child element''' - add a new [[Glossary#element | element]] as a [[Glossary#child | child]] of the currently selected element. A child is an element that is one level down in the [[Glossary#knowledge tree | knowledge tree]]. The type of the element is determined by the default type in the type combo box (at the top of the [[contents window]])
 
** '''Insert element''' (''Ins'') - insert a new element in the place of the currently selected element (the current element moves one position down). The type of the new element is determined by the default type in the type combo box (at the top of the [[contents window]])
== Contents menu items ==
** '''Duplicate''' (''Ctrl+Alt+D'') - duplicate the currently selected element and attach the duplicate as a child of the duplicated element
 
** '''Folder''' - create a dismissed template-less topic, which can act as a folder for holding other elements
The contents menu includes the following options:
** '''Category''' - create a new category in the place of the current selection. The newly created element becomes the root and the initial hook of the new category. Category wizard will help you name the category and choose its default templates
 
** '''Tasklist''' - create a new tasklist in the place of the current selection. This option is identical to '''New : Category'''. The only difference is that a new tasklist rooted in the created category will be added to the tasklist [[Using registries | registry]]
