macOS menu bar

When Merceq is open and active, you’ll see these options in the menu bar at the top of the macOS screen:

Menu Items
Merceq About Merceq · Settings… ⌘, · Hide · Hide Others · Show All · Quit Merceq
File Import… ⌘O · Export… ⌘E · Reset Library…
Edit Cut · Copy · Paste · Select All · Clear selection

A few important details about these menus:

  • Reset Library… opens the same What would you like to clean up? options as the clear button in the bottom bar. Details: Pending deletion and reset.
  • Actions in the Clip menu apply to the clip you’re pointing at or have selected. These actions don’t work while another window is open.
  • Index is the name used in the menu for list view.
  • There’s no Undo option in the menu bar. ⌘Z always runs Merceq’s own undo action.
  • Choosing Overview from the menu doesn’t close Lens view. Use the ⌘1 shortcut to exit Lens.

Right-click a text field to open a separate menu: Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Select All.
