Active Window Context Popup Menu

 

This tutorial assumes that Internet Explorer is on your desktop and is not minimized or maximized.

 

It also assumes that you are using the factory default configuration. If you are not sure whether you are using the defaults, use the Options -> Use Defaults menu item from the layout manager.

 

Imagine there are 2 different fixed positions you prefer to have for your Internet Explorer window. Let's assume for the sake of this example that the first fixed position and size is 0,0 using a size of 1000,700 and the second is 400,100 using a size of 400,500.

 

1. Creating a layout to contain our context items

 

From the layout manager select Layout -> Add
Give the layout a name
Check the Enable individual popup selection so it is ON
Click the Add... button to start adding a window definition
When the window editor opens, hit the Find button
Locate your Internet Explorer window in the window locator that will appear and double click it
Change the title to *Internet Explorer*
Change the description to First Position
Enable the Position X/Y action and set it to 0,0
Enable the Size W/H action and set it to 1000,700
Click OK on the window editor
Select the window definition you've just created and click the Copy button in the layout editor.
Select the copied window and double click it or click the Edit button
Change the description to Second Position.
In the window editor change the position to 400,100
And change the size to 400,500
Click OK on the window editor
Click OK on the layout editor

 

2. Enable the popup hotkey

 

From the layout manager go to Options -> Configuration
Enable the Popup Hotkey and set it to Win + Control + Alt + W
Click OK on the configuration dialog

 

3. Try it

 

Minimize the layout manager or leave it on the desktop if you prefer that
Select the Internet Explorer window so it becomes the active window
Hit Win + Control + Alt + W

 

You should now see a popup menu at your cursor position where it provides you the option to select two different positions that have been recognized as being applicable to the Internet Explorer window.
