  14. <h2>Behavior</h2>
  15. <p>The menu tool permits the user to pull up a pop-up menu for
  16. components that already exist. By default, right-clicking or
  17. control-clicking a component will bring up this pop-up menu; however, <a
  18. href="../../guide/opts/mouse.html">the Mouse tab</a> of the <a
  19. href="../../guide/opts/index.html">project options</a> allows a user to
  20. configure the mouse buttons to work differently.</p>
  21. <p>The pop-up menu for most components has two items.</p>
  22. <ul>
  23. <li>Delete: Removes the component from the circuit.
  24. <li>Show Attributes: Places the component's attributes into the
  25. window's attribute table, so that the attribute values can be viewed and
  26. changed.
  27. </ul>
  28. <p>For some components, however, the menu has additional items.
  29. Subcircuits (that is, instances of using one circuit as a "black box"
  30. within another) are one example of this: In addition to the above two
  31. items, the pop-up menu includes another item.</p>
  32. <ul>
  33. <li>View <var>XXX</var>: Changes the circuit layout being viewed and
  34. edited to be the subcircuit's layout instead. The values seen in the
  35. layout will be part of the same hierarchy as those of the supercircuit.
  36. (See the
  37. `<a href="../../guide/subcirc/debug.html">Debugging subcircuits</a>'
  38. section of the <em>User's Guide</em>.)
  39. </ul>
  40. <p>Other components may extend the pop-up menu also.
  41. In the built-in libraries of the current version of Logisim, the only
  42. such components are <a href="../mem/ram.html">RAM</a> and
  43. <a href="../mem/rom.html">ROM</a>.</p>

  45. <p>None.</p>
