Full Menu View

A full menu view displays items in a paginated grid of one or more columns. It is intended for longer lists that will not fit on a single screen. Items are selected with the cursor keys, Page Up, Page Down, Home and End, or by a hotKey.

Note

A full menu view is defined with a percent (%) and the characters FM, followed by the view number if used. For example: %FM1

Note

See Views for the common view properties, the common menu view properties, and the shared Hot Keys and Items reference — all of which apply here.

Properties

A full menu view arranges items into columns and pages. The number of items per column is derived from height and itemSpacing; itemHorizSpacing sets the gap between columns. When the items do not fit, the view paginates and the cursor keys move between pages.
