3.3.1.5 GUI Tab-Cycling/History
The Kairos Creator GUI menu system remembers the 10 most recent menu pages visited, allowing
quick access or toggling between them. The keyboard shortcut is [CTRL]+[TAB]. Pressing
[CTRL]+[TAB] once will toggle between the most recent menu page and the current one. Pressing
[CTRL]+[TAB] keys opens a selection window in the center of the GUI showing the ten most recent
menu pages after which holding the [CTRL] key and hitting the [TAB] key cycles through the list. When
the [CTRL] key is released, the GUI will switch to the highlighted menu page and close the window.
Now, while keeping the “Ctrl” key pressed, use
the keyboard “Tab” button in single steps in
order to cycle through the displayed list.
Releasing the “Ctrl” key will switch to the
selected menu and also will close the menu
selection window.
3.3.1.6 GUI Undo
Kairos Creator GUI also supports multi-level “Undo” (CTRL+Z) & “Redo” (CTRL+Y) functionalities.
Note:
Undo is not supported for “Insert” and “Delete” operations!
3.3.2 Kairos Creator Menu System
The start screen of Kairos Creator shows the “Mixer” Main Tab. The structure of KairosCreator is a
revolutionary new menu paradigm designed to be only one level deep. This allows the user to jump
directly from their current menu page to any other menu page in a maximum of two menu tab clicks!
Kairos Creator always starts up on the “Control” sub-menu of the “Mixer” main tab. To the right of the
“Mixer,” main tabs are the sub-menu selections for the “Mixer” category. The rest of the main tabs are
listed in the left column below the Mixer main tab.
Main Tab
Sub Tabs. Menus within the Main “Mixer” tab selection.
The current main tab and a row of sub-tabs are always displayed across the top of the page.
To change to another menu with
one click,
select any other sub-tab within the same main tab. This will
open the desired menu page without opening the menu overlay window. In the above example (3.3.2.1),
the current main tab is “Mixer,” the current sub-tab is “Control,” and the rest of the sub-tabs in this
category (main tab) are “Scenes,” “Transitions,” and “Panel.”
