The Window menu is used to control the Main Window, Protege 4's user interface.

See also Protege 4.X Shortcuts.

Note: In the keyboard shortcuts below, substitute "Cmd" for "Ctrl" on Mac OS X.

------------------------------

Views >

The Views menu is used to add a view to the currently selected tab. The contents of the Views menu depends on the set of plugins you have installed.

You can augment any of your tabs by adding views. Navigate through a topical submenu (eg, "Class views") to reach the desired view. Then, arrange the view within Protege's main window.

For details of how to configure tabs, please see notes on configuring the interface.
