Start and terminate
Shortcut defines the applications to be launched when a window with the indicated title has not yet been found
when activating the layout.
Only shortcuts defined in the database can be selected!
Click on Edit to open the shortcut property dialog. In case the window type on the General tab is indicated as
normal, the standard dialog to configure a shortcut pops up, cf. 8.3.3.4 Shortcut properties.
In cases the window type is of type Frg, or Cot, or Web (= creating via drag&drop of the viewer sources into a
layout), Edit displays the property dialog to configure the start parameters of the viewers, cf.8.4.4.4 Inserting
viewers in a layout.
Windows that are part of a layout are usually closed when the layout is removed again. However, this is only
possible if the window is not required by a layout that is still active. If a window is associated with two loaded
layouts it is closed only when the last of the two layouts has been removed.
Windows which were already open before loading the layout are not closed.
The Don't Close Windows option determines that such a window is to remain open even if not required by any
of the active layouts.
The Close Window option specifies that such a window be to be removed. If the application then opens addi-
tional windows (e.g., “Save Changes?” dialog), these windows are not considered.
Close Application terminates the window linked with the program so that all associated windows are closed.
(including e.g. a "Save Changes?" dialog)
Close with Keyboard Input specifies that the window be to be closed using special means. The required key-
board input can be entered into the edit field. Mind the correct input of characters, see Commands via keyboard
