TCI Menus Like most Windows applications, TCI displays a menu bar along the top of the TCI window. To select a particular menu item, click once on the menu heading. (You cannot use the F10 key because TCI passes that key on to the console apps.) If you have the LeftAltKey or RightAltKey .INI file directives defined, you can also select menu headers with the alt-accelerator keys. The items on the menu bar allow you to select a variety of TCI features: File Menu The File menu allows you to save or print the screen buffer, attach, detach, close, or rename tabs, or exit TCI. Save to File... Saves the contents of the TCI scrollback buffer to a file. A Save As dialog box appears in which you can enter the name of the file that you wish to use. Print... Sends the contents of the TCI scrollback buffer to the printer. A Print dialog box appears in which you can choose the portion of the Screen Buffer you wish to print. Setup Printer... Displays a standard printer setup dialog box. The options available in the dialog box depend on the printer driver(s) you are using. Attach Tab... Displays a popup dialog of all of the console sessions that are not already displayed in TCI, and allows you to select ones to convert to a TCI tab. You can select multiple sessions by clicking on individual entries and then on OK, or you can select a single session by double clicking on the entry. Close Tab Closes the current console session. Detach Tab Disconnects the current console session from TCI. Rename Tab Rename the current tab text (and the console title).If you set the title with this option, TCI will not change the tab title if the application subsequently changes the console title. If you set the title to an empty string, the title will revert to that set by the console application.) Exit Ends the current TCI process. Edit Menu The Edit menu allows you to copy text between the TCI window and the Windows clipboard, to enable or disable the console mouse, and to search the screen buffer. To use the Cut, Copy, or Delete commands, you must first select a block of text with the mouse, the keyboard, or with the Select All command, below. If you hold down the right mouse button while you select a block of text, that block will be copied to the clipboard automatically when you release the button. TCI allows you to select text in either line or block mode. For more information on copying text see Highlighting and Copying Text. Copy Copies selected text from the TCI scrollback buffer to the clipboard. Paste Copies text from the clipboard to the active console session in TCI. If the text you insert contains a line feed or carriage return, the command line will be executed just as if you had pressed Enter. Copy + Paste Copies the selected text from the TCI scrollback buffer to the active console session. Copy + Paste + Run Copies the selected text from the TCI scrollback buffer to the active console session and appends a CR/LF. Paste + Run Copies text from the clipboard to the active console session and executes the resulting command line. Select All Marks the entire contents of the TCI scrollback buffer as selected text. Console Mouse If checked, TCI will send mouse messages (move, left click, right click, and double click) to the console app. Find Perform a regular expression search of the TCI scrollback buffer. The Down button searches forwards from the current selection (or from the beginning of the screen buffer if there is no selection); the Up button searches the backwards from the current selection (or the current cursor location if there is no selection). (The type of regular expressions to use is specified by the RegularExpressions .INI directive.) |
