Grid Mode Navigation

At first, the content of a document opened in the Grid mode is collapsed. Only the root element and its attributes are displayed. The grid disposition of the node names and values is similar to a web form or dialog box. The same set of key shortcuts used to select dialog box components is also available in the Grid mode:

The following key combinations can be used to scroll the grid:

• Ctrl + UpArrow (Command + UpArrow on OS X) - scrolls the grid upwards.
• Ctrl + DownArrow (Command + DownArrow on OS X) - scrolls the grid downwards.
• Ctrl + LeftArrow (Command + LeftArrow on OS X) scrolls the grid to the left.
• Ctrl + RightArrow (Command + RightArrow on OS X) scrolls the grid to the right.

An arrow sign displayed at the left of the node name indicates that this node has child nodes. To display the children, click this sign. The expand/collapse actions can be invoked either with the NumPad+ and NumPad- keys, or from the Expand/Collapse submenu of the contextual menu or from Document ⇒ Grid Expand/Collapse.

The following actions are available on the Expand/Collapse menu:

Expand All

Expands the selection and all its children.

Collapse All

Expand Children

Expands all the children of the selection but not the selection.

Collapse Children

Collapse Others
