Mouse-pointed-element menu

When the mouse cursor is very near several elements, you can press [SPACE] to open a popup menu listing all elements at that location. You can left- or right-click on the element-entry in this menu; the click will be forwarded to the meant element.

Notes:

• As it is usual, you can press [ESC] to close the menu, but in addition to this, you can close the menu by pressing [SPACE] again (it's more practical to use the same key that opens the menu).

• For entries of selected elements a bold font is used.

• The mouse-pointed-element menu can help when creating/maintaining several "versions" of a noise-protection wall (having different heights) or of a source (having different emission values). A simple way of doing this (in the case of a source) is to clone (press on button and [CTRL]-click the source) or copy/paste a given source (to generate an exact duplicate), and for each of the copies, select it and edit its emission values (note that the emission values are shown in the mouse-pointed-element menu, which allows you to distinguish among sources with the same name).

  ❑

  Anmerkungen: Copy/paste is the only way that allows creating several versions with the same name. SLIP will not accept to calculate a selection containing two sources with the same name (but will not complain if only one version of the source is selected). Cloning will always remove the references from all selections, so that the clone is not included in the selections in which the original is included.
