Context Menu Commands

Workbench is a context-sensitive IDE. You can often find the command you need at a given moment by right-clicking an object or portion of the interface, for example, Workbench Explorer, tabs and properties panes within the main window space, tab titles, and the status bar.

For example:

Explorer Context Menu - Build

TIP: This option works for txt and csv files.

Generate Integrator Script

TIP: You can copy the project path of a file or folder onto the clipboard and then paste it in a script. This command can copy the project path for both files and folders, but not for aliases.

NOTE: Workbench can recognize the following archive formats: Zip, GZip, BZip2, Tar, Rar, LZip, XZ, 7Zip.

Context Menu Navigate To

When you choose Navigate To in a .build file with the cursor on something that is a path, Workbench attempts to show that file in the text editor. This also works for other Spectre related scripts that contain a path.

Context Menu Format Selected

Format selected re-indents the selected text (or the entire script if nothing is selected). It uses two spaces for each level of indentation.

Context menu: Compare text files

Add to ODBC Registry Context Menu Option

The tab labels themselves also have context menu commands (see Working with Tabs).

See Workbench Menu Commands for details on each command available from the traditional menus.
