How to Use Super

Welcome to Super!

Use F1 key for help anywhere in the program. F1 shows context sensitive help about the GUI object that currently has focus. If none of them gets focus, try to click on a focusable GUI component.

1. The main window

The main window is a JSplitPane. The left part of it is the Menu Tree Panel. You can collapse it, expand it, or resize it:

The Menu Tree Panel provides the same functionality as the main Menu Bar. It provides a graphic view of all menu commands. Clicking on any leave of the tree produces the same result as clicking on its counter part of the menu item.

2. Reset window numbers and positions

Each time you open a JInternalFrame (a non-modal window), the window's number increases one and the window is positioned a little lower than the previous window. If you work for a long time and want to rearrange windows, you can click on Cascade. If you want a new window to start from the top-left corner, you can click on Close All to reset:

3. System clipboard

System clipboard is available for both Unix and Windows:

• Copy: Control-c or Control-Insert
• Cut: Control-x or Shift-Delete
• Paste: Control-v or Shift-Insert

Known issues: On Unix, the traditional way (highlight - copy; middle mouse button - paste) may or may not always work.

4. Set preferred layout

Many panels are inherited from the Table Panel. You can re-arrange the layout. You have choices to save the new layout or not. If it is saved, the new layout will automatically take effect the next time the panel is open.

Note: on some of panels, the text on Close button may be different. The rule of thumb is: a button, which is on the main menu bar, which closes the panel, will save new layout. The cancel button on the top-right corner will not save layout information.
