Vertical Menu View

A vertical menu view displays a list of items down a single column, similar to a lightbar. It is the most common menu view in ENiGMA½. Items are selected with the cursor keys, Page Up, Page Down, Home and End, or by a hotKey.

Note

A vertical menu view is defined with a percent (%) and the characters VM, followed by the view number if used. For example: %VM1

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

In addition to the common menu view properties, a vertical menu view accepts:

Property	Description
focusItemAtTop	If true, the focused item is kept at the top of the visible window as the user scrolls, rather than the list scrolling around it

A vertical menu scrolls when it has more items than height rows, so height determines how many items are visible at once.
