How to gain individual control over windows

The active window context popup menu is one of the really useful features but requires some understand of how this work and how you can properly configure it. The active window context popup (or individual popup, for short) is a popup menu that can be shown for the active window when the popup hotkey that is defined by the configuration is pressed. It then allows you to select one or more window definitions that match the active window and apply one.

Layout definitions that have the Enable individual popup selection turned on will allow the window definitions it contains to be available to this feature. You can use layouts that can also be applied but you can also disable the layout from being applied while the window definitions are then only available for this feature.

Note that if the active window does not match any window definition with an enabled layout the popup menu will not show.

Do read the tutorial on how to set this up and use it.

Requirements

•	A hotkey definition for the popup menu. If that hotkey is not defined, or disabled, or if hotkeys are disabled from the layout manager, this feature will not be available.

•	At least one layout that contains window definition and is marked as Enable individual popup selection.

•	Recommended to set at least a basic optional description for the window definitions within the layout since those will be shown in the popup menu.

Accessing the popup menu

•	Ensure that the window for which you wish to get the popup menu is the active window.

•	Press the hotkey combination.
