Window Menu Commands

The purpose of the Window menu commands is to change the layout of open document windows. The second part of this menu displays a list of open document names. These names are equivalent to document window names, which allows selecting a new current (active) window. The current window is marked in the menu with a check marker.

New Window

The New Window command opens a new window for the current document. The next ordinal number of the window (opened with the same composite document as the previous current window) is displayed on the title bar of this window, on the right side of the file name(s).

Tile

When more than one document window is open, the Tile (Horizontally ) command divides the whole SuperEdit main window between all equally sized document windows. When just one document is open, its window is expanded to fill the entire SuperEdit drawing window.

After issuing this command, all document windows are arranged in such a way, that each is visible and does not overlap with any of the other windows and the neighboring windows have common horizontal borders.

Cascade

When more than one document window is open, the Cascade command arranges open document windows in form of stack. They overlap each other but each is shifted a little, so that their title bars are visible. The current document window remains active and is placed on the top of the stack.

When just one document is open, its window is expanded to fill the entire SuperEdit drawing window.

Arrange Icons

Every document window can be minimized to a form of a SuperEdit icon labeled with a document name. The names of minimized windows (documents) remain present on the list of open documents in the Window menu.

These icons can be dragged with the mouse one by one to a new place. The Arrange Icons command changes the placement of these icons. It puts them in a row(s) at the bottom of the drawing SuperEdit window. When you double click with a mouse on a document icon or click on a document name on the list in the Window menu, the selected document window opens again at the previous place and size. The Arrange Icons command does not move open windows, so they may overlap the area, where document icons are placed. In such a situation, you can uncover the icons by resizing the windows manually or with the Cascade command.
