Context Menus
Several surfaces in the application respond to a right click with a context menu whose entries fit the content under the pointer. The menus are localised in the application language.
Feature-specific entries
Each surface registers its own context menu — there is no single universal table/label/tree menu:
- OPC UA — References table (the References panel in the PLC Online editor pane): Copy Node ID · Copy Browse Name · Copy as JSON · Subscribe (adds the referenced node to the watch list).
Project Explorer context menu
Right-clicking a node in the Project Explorer tree (in the Openness Manager side bar) opens a context menu whose entries change with the node you clicked — a block, a folder, a Library node, or a safety node. The full set:
| Group | Entry | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| Navigation | Open in Editor | blocks (opens the read-only source editor) |
| Navigation | Open as XML | data blocks (editable XML view in a separate tab; saving writes the block back) |
| Navigation | Find References (Ctrl+Shift+F) | blocks (per-block where-used → the TIA References view) |
| Clipboard | Copy Name · Copy Number | blocks |
| Export ▸ | Select for Export · Export Selected · Import Files… / Import All… | blocks and folders |
| Protection ▸ | Set Protection · Clear Protection | blocks |
| Vault ▸ | Assign Stored Vault Password · Unprotect with Stored Password · Bulk Protect · Bulk Unprotect | blocks and folders (while the Password Vault is unlocked) |
| — | Delete | blocks, data types, tag tables, HMI items, and folders |
| — | Show F-Signature (toggle) | safety nodes |
Only the entries that make sense for the clicked node are shown, so a folder, a code block, and a Library node each present a different subset.
Several further entries round out the menu:
- Show in Version Control — opens the Source Control view.
- Safety Printout — on a safety node, exports the safety program to PDF or XPS.
- Library ▸ — Copy to Library (on blocks); on Library nodes: Instantiate to Project · Export Type Version · New Folder · Rename · Clean Up Library · Delete (shown per node kind).
Right-click in code editors (the SCL editor and diff view) keeps the editor's own cut/copy/paste menu — the new menus do not override it. Text boxes (input fields) keep the operating-system native cut/copy/paste flyout.
