over the contents window.
The contents pop-up menu includes the following options:
- View - bring the element window to the front and display there the
currently selected contents element
- Review - review
material belonging to the currently selected branch in
the knowledge tree
- Edit - edit operations (also available from
buttons at the bottom of the contents window)
- Add - add a new element
as a child of the currently selected element (a child is an
element that is one level down in the knowledge tree)
- Sibling - add a new element as a sibling of the currently selected element (a sibling is an
element is is on the same level in the knowledge tree)
- Insert - insert a new element in the place
of the currently selected element (the current element moves one position down)
- Delete - delete the currently selected
element and all its children (if any)
- Title - edit the title of the currently
selected element (note that you can also edit the title in-place if you click the
currently selected element)
- Search - search for titles
- Find - find a string in the first title in
expanded branches below the currently selected element
- Find next - repeat the last search done
with Search : Find
- Category - options for managing contents categories
- Create new category
- create a new contents category with the
currently selected element as the root. The category will
take the title of its root element as its name. You can change that to a shorter or more
mnemonic name. The currently selected element will also become the first hook of the
category
- Make root - make
the currently selected element the root of the current category (the current category is
the category selected in category combo-box on the toolbar). The
root is the element that is the ascendant of all elements in the category
- Make hook - make
the currently selected element the hook of the current category (the current category is
the category selected in category combo-box on the toolbar).
Once you change the hook, all newly added elements will be children of the hook (only
within the current category)
- Node operations -
operations that consider all children or all descendants of
a given branch
- Status
- Remember - introduce the whole branch into
the learning process
- Forget - remove all elements in the branch
from the learning process
- Dismiss - dismiss
all elements in the branch
- Undismiss - add all dismissed elements in
the branch to the pending queue and remove their dismiss
status
- Make items - make all elements in the
branch items (see also: Topics vs items)
- Make topics - make all elements in the
branch topics
- Reset history - reset the repetition
history of all elements in the branch
- Forgetting index -
change the forgetting index in the entire branch
- Set forgetting index - assign a given
forgetting index to all elements in the branch
- Default forgetting index - make all
elements in the branch use the default forgetting index. The default forgetting index is
set with Tools : Options : Learning : Forgetting
index
- Ordinal - change the ordinal number in the entire branch
- Set ordinal - give all elements the same
ordinal number
- Set position ordinal - give all elements
ordinal numbers equal to their physical position in the collection
(e.g. to sort the pending queue in the order of adding elements into the collection)
- Set pending ordinal - give all elements
ordinal numbers equal to their position in the pending queue
- Spread ordinals - give all elements
ordinals increasing in equal steps from a given lower limit to a given higher limit
- Modify ordinal - increase or decrease
ordinal numbers in the entire branch
- Template - template operations on the whole

- Set title - set a given title
- Count - count all elements matching some

- Pending - count all pending elements in the branch
- Dismissed - count all dismissed elements in

- Arrange in folders -
group all elements in the branch into a number of branches with equal number of children.
For example, if your branch contains 100 elements, you can use Arrange in folders
to create 10 empty elements used as placeholders for the remaining items. Each of those
newly created elements will host 10 children. Thus all your 100 items will be grouped in
10 branches with 10 children each
- Browse node - put all descendants of the currently selected branch in the element browser
- Transfer node - transfer the entire
collection to another collection
- Save as subset - save all elements in the
branch in an element subset (see: Using
subsets)
- Export as text - export all elements in the
current branch as text
- Export learning - export the learning
process from all elements in the current branch
- Random test - run a random test on all
elements in the current branch
- Move empty elements - move all empty
elements to a selected branch in the collection
- Customize
- Font - change the font used in the contents
window
- Switch window - switch to the element window (the same shortcut, Ctrl+Shift+W,
