Click on an object, plug-in object, the drawing area, or a section of the Resource Browser with a right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac), to display a menu containing context-sensitive commands that pertain to the selected item or items. If several similar items are selected, only the applicable context menu commands to all the items in the selection become available. Many of these commands can be used to move directly from one editing mode to another, bypassing a dialog box. For instance, context menu commands can be used within an edit viewport mode to switch directly from editing one viewport component to another, such as from editing a crop to editing annotations.
Document and object context menus can be customized to include frequently-needed commands; see Modifying Context Menus.
Many context menu commands are also available from the menu command lists; however, certain commands are available exclusively from a context menu.
