Menus
The menu bar, item by item. The View and Present menus exist only while a workspace is open.
The menu bar is small on purpose. Most actions live on the screens themselves; the menus hold the layout, the presentation and the Marp reference.
Lecture Studio#
The standard application menu: About, Settings… (⌘,), Hide, Quit (⌘Q). Quitting asks first: Quit, or Save and Quit / Quit Without Saving when the deck has unsaved edits; a running presentation ends so the question is visible.
File#
| Item | Action |
|---|---|
| Save ⌘S | Writes the open file. Disabled when nothing changed. |
| Export… ⇧⌘E | The export sheet: PDF or PowerPoint through marp-cli. Needs a deck open. |
There is no New item: courses, talks, units and files are created from their screens. There is one window; Window has no window list.
Edit#
The standard Edit menu. Cut, copy, paste, undo and select all apply to whichever text field or editor has focus.
