Working with windows
Basic window handling
WaveLab follows the basic guidelines for the Windows interface, which
means standard “Windows procedures” apply.
Closing Wave windows
You can close a document window by clicking its close button, by select-
ing Close from the File menu or by pressing [Ctrl]-[W]. If document win-
dow(s) contain unsaved changes, you will be asked whether you want to
save those changes before closing.
• If you hold down [Ctrl]+[Shift] when clicking the close button, the window
closes immediately. Any changes you have made will not be saved.
• You can also close all windows in one go (either all Wave windows, or all
windows regardless of type), by selecting the corresponding option from
the Windows menu.
Minimizing Wave windows
WaveLab windows are minimized like any other, but there are also op-
tions for minimizing all Wave windows or all windows (regardless of type,
as with closing, see above), from the Window menu.
Quitting
When you quit the program, and have files with unsaved changes, the
“Exiting with modified documents” dialog, see “Save All” on page 120,
appears. Selecting all files in the list and clicking Save Selected, ensures
that all changes made to any and all files, are saved.
Quick window switching
• To “cycle” between all open windows, press [Ctrl]-[Tab] or [Ctrl]-[F6].
• If you release the [Ctrl] key, and use any of these commands again, you will
switch to the previous window, rather than the next window in the stack.
This allows you to quickly move back and forth between two windows.
