<title>The Menu and Toolbar Items</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>&kpresenter; presents different types of interfaces for you to interact
|
|
with the program. Perhaps the most familiar type of interface is the
|
|
menu which appears on the top of the &kpresenter; window.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Clicking on the menu items gives you a list of commands from which you
|
|
can choose the one you want. Many of the commands can also be accessed
|
|
directly by holding down &Ctrl; or &Alt; and pressing another key on
|
|
your keyboard. In the next section, each of the menu commands is
|
|
described in brief.</para>

<title>Manipulating the Toolbars</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>In addition to the menus, &kpresenter; also has a set of toolbars. Each
|
|
toolbar consists of a collection of icons. A toolbar icon often presents
|
|
a convenient shortcut to a command that is found in one of the menus.</para>

<para>You can move the toolbar around by dragging the handle, shown here in red. Toolbars can
|
|
be <quote>docked</quote> or attached to any side of the &kpresenter;
|
|
window. If you like, you can also have the toolbar <quote>float</quote> in
|
|
its own window, separated from the main &kpresenter; window as shown in the
|
|
screenshot below:</para>

<mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on the handle and a menu pops up as shown

<para>
|
|
The first few items in the popup menu have to do with the placement of
|
|
the toolbar. You can choose any of the four sides of the &kpresenter;
|
|
window, or have the toolbar <quote>float</quote> in a separate
|
|
window. Choosing <guimenuitem>Flat</guimenuitem> hides the toolbar.
|
|
To unflat a hidden toolbar, &LMB; click on its handle.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Choosing the next item in the menu, <guisubmenu>Text Position</guisubmenu>, leads
|
|
to an additional menu which lets you control the appearance of the items
|
|
in toolbar. This additional cascading menu is shown in the screenshot
|
|
below:

|
<para>
|
|
The default view of the toolbar is icons only. In this view, if you
|
|
don't know what a particular icon means, you can hold the mouse over the
|
|
icon, and after a second or so, a little hint pops up in a highlighted
|
|
text box as shown in the screenshot below:

<para>
|
|
You can choose to display the toolbar items as text instead of icons, or
|
|
even to combine both icons and text. If you want both text and icons,
|
|
the cascading menu allows you to select whether the text appears beside
|
|
the icons or below them. All four styles of displaying toolbar items are
|
|
shown in the screenshot below:

<para>Autocorrection is &kpresenter;'s ability to correct
|
|
common typing errors or expand abbreviations independently of the spell
|
|
checking function. There are several common typing errors entered for
|
|
you by default such as replacing <userinput>teh</userinput> with
|
|
<userinput>the</userinput> and you can add as many more as you
|
|
like.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The ability to expand abbreviations can save you a lot of typing
|
|
time, if you often repeat text whether in the same presentation or in
|
|
multiple presentations.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For instance, if you work for <quote>Company with a really really
|
|
long name Inc.</quote> then you might define an autocorrection entry so
|
|
that whenever you type <userinput>myJob</userinput> or some other piece
|
|
of unique text, it will be replaced with <quote>Company with a really
|
|
really long name Inc.</quote>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Autocorrection can be applied automatically as you type, or only
|
|
on demand when you choose it from the <guimenu>Text</guimenu>

menu.</para>
