Using the Console Shortcut Menu

The most important functions needed when working with the VLISP Console window are combined into a shortcut menu for fast access. Right-click anywhere in the Console window or press SHIFT + F10 to display the shortcut menu.

Depending on whether there is text selected in the Console window and depending on the cursor position, some commands may not be appropriate at the moment and cannot be activated from the shortcut menu. The following table summarizes the commands that may be available from the Console window shortcut menu.
