View menu

The View menu contains the following items (from v8.8.0 'Key Attributes' are renamed 'Displayed Attributes'):

  • Show/Hide Tab Bar. Toggles visibility (in macOS 10.12+) of the document toolbar. If enabled this shows a tab per TBX document.
  • Show/Hide Toolbar. Toggles visibility of the window toolbar.
  • Customize Toolbar… Opens the Customize Toolbar panel to customise the window toolbar.
  • Magnify. If focus is in the:
    • View pane, this increases the view zoom level by a factor of 1.
    • Text pane, this changes the font size ($TextFontSize) of the selected text, i.e. with no selection nothing happens. Note: this effect changes the text itself rather than zooming the pane's contents as a whole.
  • Shrink. If focus is in the:
    • View pane, this decreases the main view zoom level by a factor of 1.
    • Text pane, this changes the font size ($TextFontSize) of the selected text, i.e. with no selection nothing happens. Note: this effect changes the text itself rather than zooming the pane's contents as a whole.
  • Standard Size. Returns the main view to default zoom level.
  • Guides. (Map view only) Toggles use of view alignment guides, including snap-to-grid.
  • (Pre-v8.6.0 only) Hide/Show Displayed Attributes/No Displayed Attributes. Toggles visibility of the selection's Displayed Attributes table (assuming some are defined). The state is stored and inherited via $HideDisplayedAttributes. If the note currently has no Displayed Attributes defined, 'No Displayed Attributes' is shown, greyed out. From v8.6.0 this is now the Displayed Attributes sub-menu of the Windows menu.
  • Edit Displayed Attributes… Opens the current note's Define new Displayed Attributes pop-over. This allows the adding, deletion or re-ordering of the note's Displayed Attributes table.
  • Tab. Tab sub-menu.
  • Focus view. 'Hoist' the view pane focus. Map view: drill down to show child map of current container. Outline/Chart views: set view so this item is the root of the current view (i.e. one level down the outline). A breadcrumb bar is shown if the view focus is not at root.
  • Expand view. Un-hoist the view pane focus. Map view: go up to show parent map of current map. Outline/Chart views: set view root at the parent container of the current view root container (i.e. one level up the outline). A breadcrumb bar is shown if the view focus is not at root.
