The Circular menu is a more comfortable alternative to the standard Context Menu
The main advantage of the circular menu is that it requires only small mouse movements to reach the commands. Also, being more compact, it allows a better view of the design.
The main disadvantage is that the commands lack of a descriptive text, although it displays a tooltip if the mouse pointer remains over the commands for a moment.
How to activate the Circular Menu?
By default, the standard Context menu is active. If you want to switch to the Circular menu:
➢From the HOME tooltab, click SETTINGS on the System group ➢Click on Workspace > General in the tree at the left ➢Check the item "Use circular context menu" in right panel ➢Press Ok |
