Bringing up the radial menu

Radial menus can be used to bring up additional options related to user interface components. Their functionality is context specific, i.e. varies by the place where they are used.

Hover the mouse over the interface component whose options you wish to access.

Press the right mouse button.

Using the menu using gestures

Using the radial menu by gesture movement can be faster and more convenient when you know the locations of menu items reasonably well beforehand.

Invoke the radial menu by pressing down the right mouse button, but do not release it.

Move the mouse towards the option you wish to select. If you do not move the mouse immediately, it will take a couple of seconds for the menu to appear.

If the desired option is inside a submenu, the submenu will automatically open when the gesture movement reaches the menu item.

Release the right mouse button on the selected menu item.

Using the menu by clicking

Invoke the radial menu by clicking the right mouse button.

Select items by clicking. Either the left or right mouse button can be used.
