the global history. They are accessible from the Tools or Setup submenu in
the Main Menu. The managers consists of an area showing a hierarchic listbox
and buttons at the bottom. Below, a view of the cookie manager is shown.</p><pre class="literallayout">+------------------------- Cookie manager -------------------------+

+------------------------------------------------------------------+</pre><p>Each item is either a folder or a leaf. A folder is displayed with a <code class="literal">[-]</code>
or <code class="literal">[+]</code> before the name telling whether the folder is currently open or
closed. Nested items are displayed indented compared to the folder they are
nested in. In the cookie manager example above "bjork.com" is a folder and
"PREF" is a leaf.</p><p>Items can be "marked", which makes it possible to select a group of items
and perform an action on them, such as deleting all marked items. If any
item has been marked the currently selected item is ignored when performing
the action.  Marked items are displayed with an asterisk (<span class="emphasis"><em>*</em></span>) prefixing the
name.</p><p>The buttons make it possible to perform actions either on selected or marked
items or on all items in the manager. Buttons named <span class="emphasis"><em>Clear</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>Save</em></span> are
performed on all items; <span class="emphasis"><em>Clear</em></span> will delete all items and <span class="emphasis"><em>Save</em></span> will update
the runtime state file associated with the manager in the <code class="literal">~/.elinks/</code>
directory.  Most buttons presses will query you before completing the
action.</p><p>At any time, both the currently selected item and button are highlighted.
The same goes for marked items. Most manager dialogs also maintains the
state, so that when you reopen the manager later it will have the same items
selected and the same folders opened or closed.</p><p>The basic default controls for managers are the following:</p><div class="informaltable"><table border="1"><colgroup><col width="81pt" align="left"><col width="342pt" align="left"></colgroup><thead><tr><th align="left">

    </td></tr><tr><td align="left">
    <span class="emphasis"><em>*</em></span>
    </td><td align="left">

    </td></tr><tr><td align="left">
    Esc
    </td><td align="left">
    Close the manager dialog.
    </td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>Some managers also supports searching, either by pressing the <span class="emphasis"><em>Search</em></span>
button or by pressing <span class="emphasis"><em>/</em></span>. By searching the empty string, all hidden items
from the previous search will be shown again.</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ch03s03.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="ch03.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ch03s05.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">The Main, Link and Tab Menus </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> LED status indicators</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
