The contents menu in the Contents window can be used for operations on the knowledge tree. To open this menu:
- press Alt+F10 in the Contents window,
- right-click over the selected branch of the knowledge tree, or
- press Apps Key () (context menu key left of the right Ctrl key).
The contents menu includes the following options:
New
- New - add new elements
- Item - create a new item as a child of the selected element
- Topic - create a new topic as a child of the selected element
- Add child - add a new element as a child of the currently selected element. A child is an element that is one level down in the knowledge tree. The type of the element is determined by the default type in the Element type combo box (at the bottom of the Contents window)
- Insert sibling (Ins) - insert a new element in the place of the currently selected element (the current element moves one position down). The type of the new element is determined by the default type in the Element type combo box (at the bottom of the Contents window)
- Duplicate (Alt+D) - duplicate the currently selected element and attach the duplicate as a child of the duplicated element
- Folder - create a dismissed template-less topic, which can act as a folder for holding other elements
View
- View
- Element (Shift+Enter) - bring the element window to the front with the currently selected element
- Branch - put all elements belonging to the selected branches in the element browser
- Descendants (Ctrl+Space) - put all descendants of the selected branches in the element browser
- Selection - view all selected elements in the element browser
- Children - put all children of the currently selected branch in the element browser
- Map - view the currently branch as a map
- Parent (Ctrl+Up) - go to the parent element of the presently selected element
- First child (Ctrl+Down) - go to the first child of the currently selected element
- Collapse (Ctrl+Alt+Enter) - collapse the current branch
Rename
- Rename - change the title of the currently selected element
Copy
- Copy - copy the currently selected element to the clipboard
Paste
- Paste - paste the element from the clipboard (previously put there with Copy above)
Delete
- Delete - delete the currently selected element and all its children and descendants (if any)
Move
- Move (Shift+Ctrl+V) - move the currently selected element to a new location in the tree. Use Accept (at the bottom of the window) or double-click to point to the new location for the element
Learn
- Learn (Ctrl+L) - make repetitions on the currently selected branch and memorize pending elements belonging to the branch
Dismiss
Search
- Search
Concept
- Concept - options for managing concepts
- Create - create a new concept
- Create (Ctrl+K) - create a new concept with the currently selected element as the root. The concept will take the title of its root element as its name. You can change that to a shorter or more mnemonic name. The currently selected element will also become the first hook of the concept
- Set root - make the currently selected element the root of the current concept group (the current concept group is displayed on the navigation bar in the element window). The root is the element that is the ascendant of all elements in the concept group
- Set hook - make the currently selected element the hook of the current concept group (the current concept group is displayed on the navigation bar in the element window). Once you change the hook, all newly added elements will be children of the hook (only within the current concept group)
Export
- Export
- Transfer elements - transfer the entire branch to another collection. This option is similar to File : Merge collection; however, only the selected branch is transferred (as opposed to the entire collection)
- Document - export all texts from the currently selected branch as a single HTML document
- Q&A text file - export all items from the currently selected branch to a Q&A text file
- XML - export all elements from the currently selected branch in the XML format that can be imported to other SuperMemos. XML files may also be imported back to SuperMemo for Windows
- HTML - export the currently selected branch to HTML. Not all component types can be exported. The component layout is not preserved
- Source text - export the currently selected branch source text in the text format
- Subset - export a subset as text. This option is the same as Export : Source text with this exception that only the elements belonging to a selected subset are exported. Read more: Using subsets
- Learning data - export the learning process from all elements in the currently selected branch. You can later use File : Import : Learning process to import such a file to the same collection or a subset collection derived from the original collection (e.g. generated to make repetitions on a notebook with limited space or performance)
Tools
- Tools
- Regroup in folders - group all children in the branch into a number of branches with equal number of children. Do not affect further descendants. Unlike Arrange in folders below, this option preserves the structure of knowledge generated with incremental reading
- Arrange in folders - group all elements in the branch into a number of branches with equal number of children. For example, if your branch contains 100 elements, you can use Arrange in folders to create 10 empty elements used as placeholders for the remaining elements. Each of those newly created elements will host 10 children. Thus all your 100 elements will be grouped in 10 branches with 10 children each
- Random test (F11) - run a random test on all elements in the selected branch
Font
- Font - change the font used in the Contents window
Process branch>
- Process branch> - process all elements in a given branch using options available from the subset processing menu
Close
- Close (Ctrl+F4) - close the Contents window. You can re-open it by choosing Contents in the element window
