ne's manual

3.6: Menus

ne's menus are extremely straightforward. The suggested way of learning their use is by trial and error, with a peek here and there at this manual when some doubts arise.

Menus are activated by F1, or in case your keyboard does not have such a key, ESCAPE, or in general any key which is bound to the Escape command. Movement is accomplished by pressing the cursor keys and the page up/down keys (which move to the first or last menu item in a menu). You can also move around menus and menu items by pressing the alphabetic keys; a lower case letter will move to the first item whose name starts with the given letter; an upper case letter will move to the first menu whose name starts with the given letter.

Each menu item of ne's standard menu correspond exactly to a single command. Thus, in explaining what each menu item allows you to do, you will be simply referred to the section which explains the command relative to the menu item.

If you plan to change ne's menu (see Changing Menus), you should take a look at the file `default.menus' which comes with ne's distribution. It contains a complete menu configuration which clones the standard one.
