Customize

The Customize command enables you to customize your SemanticWorks interface. Clicking the command pops up the Customize dialog (screenshot below), in which customization options are grouped in tabs.

The Commands tab displays all SemanticWorks commands, grouped by menu. Select a command to display a description (in the Description pane) of what the command does. You can also drag a selected command into a menu or toolbar in the GUI. When you do this, the selected command is not removed from the menu in the Customize dialog in which it was originally listed; neither does the command appear in the menu or toolbar list (in the Customize dialog) into which it was dropped. A command that is dropped into a menu or toolbar appears only in the GUI.

The Toolbars tab lists all SemanticWorks toolbars. Each toolbar contains icons that serve as shortcuts for menu commands.Toolbars can be activated (that is, displayed in the SemanticWorks GUI) by checking their corresponding check boxes. They are deactivated by unchecking the corresponding check box. The Menu Bar toolbar cannot be deactivated. Note that text labels can be enabled for individual toolbars. These text labels are the descriptive labels you see for each command in the Commands tab of the Customize dialog (see above).

The Reset button resets toolbars to the original settings. The Reset All button resets all toolbars and menus to their original settings. The New button enables you to define a new toolbar.

Note: You can also move individual toolbars to any location on the screen by dragging a toolbar by its handle and dropping it at the desired location.

The Keyboard tab enables you to customize shortcuts for various commands. To define a new shortcut key combination for a command (for which a key combination may or may not exist), do the following:

1.	Select the command for which you wish to assign a shortcut key combination from the Commands pane.

2.	Place the cursor in the Press New Shortcut Key text box, and press the shortcut key combination you wish to use for this command.

3.	If the key combination has already been assigned to a command, an "Assigned" message appears below the text box. Otherwise, an "Unassigned" message appears. Click the Assign button to assign an unassigned key combination to the selected command.

You can remove a key-combination assignment by selecting the key combination in the Current Keys pane and clicking the Remove button. Clicking the Reset All button resets the set of shortcut key combinations to the original settings.

The Menu tab enables you to select context menus and set appearance options such as menu shadows.

The Options tab enables you to set the following Toolbar options: (i) whether Tool Tips are displayed when the cursor is placed over a toolbar icon; (ii) whether shortcut keys are displayed in Tool Tips; and (iii) whether toolbar icons are displayed as small or large icons.
