Keyboard Shortcuts
Many of the keyboard shortcuts for commonly used commands have been modified to be consistent between different RiverWare dialogs, to conform to accepted software standards, and to eliminate conflicts arising from duplicate shortcuts. In dialog menus, keyboard shortcuts appear to the right of the commands they execute. The shortcuts are:

Pinnable Menus
The main RiverWare Workspace menus are now pinnable. Clicking on the dashed line at the top of an open menu converts the menu into a free window. This allows repeated commands to be executed without first having to re-open the menu. To close a pinned menu, kill the Xwindows frame in which it resides by clicking twice on the upper left corner of the window.
Default Window Placement
The placement and size of the main Workspace window is now preserved from one RiverWare session to the next. The location in the Xwindows monitor and the size of the window are saved in the.vgalaxy.1.vr file in the user’s home directory. The placement and location are applied when the RiverWare executable is initially launched and are then automatically saved from the current configuration when the session is ended.
Locator View
A new function has been added to facilitate movement around the workspace of large models. Selecting the Locator View... command from the Workspace menu creates a miniature representation of the entire workspace in a new window. A highlighted frame indicates the portion of the workspace over which the main RiverWare window is currently located. Dragging this frame to a different part of the workspace shifts the main RiverWare window’s field of view to match the locator. A specific object may be also be brought into view by selecting it from the Locate menu heading on the locator window.
View Methods/Slots
The View Methods and View Slots buttons on the Open Object dialog have been converted to an option menu. This menu is labeled as View:. It indicates the currently selected dialog view from two options, Slots and Methods. Slots view is the default.
