About WinCross “accelerator” keys

Each WinCross accelerator key is identified by the underlined letter within a menu item name and/or command. You can depress and hold the Alt key while pressing the corresponding menu accelerator key. For example, pressing Alt|F together, then S, issues a File|Save command.

Selecting items within a list

To select contiguous items within a list, select the first item and, with the mouse button still depressed, drag the mouse pointer over all desired items. Alternatively, select the first item in the series then, hold the Shift key while selecting the last item in the desired series.

To select noncontiguous items, depress and hold the Ctrl key while individually selecting each desired item.

Easy application switching

If you have WinCross open along with another application, try using the Alt|Tab key combination to quickly switch between them. If you have three or more applications running, quickly pressing Alt|Tab switches between the two applications most recently accessed.

Resizing and moving windows

The buttons on the far right of the WinCross title bar let you minimize, maximize or close the application. Not all WinCross windows have these buttons. Windows can be moved to a different location by holding the left mouse button down on its title bar while dragging the window to the desired location.
