Help for Menus, Keys, and Image Sizing
"There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full."
- Henry Kissinger
Help with Menus:
- Pages that have a logical predecessor and successor will show Prev and Next links
-
At the top right are two buttons, [<] and [>], that scroll the menu left or right.
These bring links into view if there isn't room to display all the links in the menu.
-
At the lower right you will see navigation buttons. You can either click the button
or type the corresponding key to invoke its action. You can hide or show the buttons
by selecting About > Toggle Nav Keys.
-
Some images have resizer widgets that allow you to make an image larger, smaller, or hidden.
These are useful for desktop environments and laptops that do not support finger squeeze
and spread. For environments that do have that, like tablets, the sizer is redundant and
can be toggled off from About > Toggle Image Sizers.
-
Both toggles are persistent across pages and sessions. That's done by saving the
toggle state in Local Storage.
-
All information related things are accessed from Home, Notes, Blogs, Resources, and Platforms,
available as dropdowns from the Home menu.
-
Code related things are accessed from Repositories and Prog Lang from the Home menu.
-
Repositories organizes code into Utilities, Tools, Components, Libraries, Projects, and
demos, all available from the Repositories menu.
-
You can quickly find any repository by hovering over each of the Repository categories in turn
to see a dropdown with repositories for that category.
-
Home > Prog Lang will have pages for several popular languages. Right now it has my
favorite, C++, but others will follow.
-
Site Map has links to most of the important topics, all in one view.
Help with Keyboard actions:
- T - scroll to page top
- B - scroll to page bottom
- H - show this page in a separate window
- U - scroll up
- D - scroll down
-
N - change to next page, if defined with a page link
-
P - change to prev page, if defined with a page link
Help with Image Sizing:
-
Many, but not all, images are resizable.
-
Enlarge an image by clicking.
-
Return to default size by refreshing the page:
- browser refresh button
- ^ctrl + r
- Click on the info-bar at the bottom of the page.
- Press the r key
-
Click the R navigation button at the bottom right of the page.
The R button only appears if the page has resizable images.
-
If nav keys are hidden you can show them with About > Toggle Nav Keys.
All these alternatives are here for testing. I may elect to remove some after using
them for a while.
