2.3 The Menu Bar

This is a standard menu bar that gives access to all the global functionalities of GPS. It is usually easier to access a given functionality using the various contextual menus provided throughout GPS: these menus give direct access to the most relevant actions given the current context (e.g. a project, a directory, a file, an entity, …). Contextual menus pop up when the right mouse button is clicked or when using the special open contextual menu key on most PC keyboards.
