Menus
The menu bar runs across the top of the editor: File, Editor, Macros, Tools, and Help. Every entry on each of them is listed below, grouped by the menu it belongs to, with its keyboard shortcut where it has one.
Two of the menus are not fixed lists. Macros shows Configure Macros followed by every macro set to appear there, so its contents are whatever the project defines - a macro can be set to appear in the menu, in the toolbar, in both, or in neither. File likewise grows a Recents and a Favorites submenu from the projects already opened and saved.
Note: Force Height Visibility and Force Region Visibility are mutually exclusive - turning one on turns the other off.
