Window features
ModelSim’s graphic interface provides many features that add to its usability;
features common to many of the windows are described below.
• Press the <ESC> key to cancel any dialog box.
• Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete into any entry box by clicking the
right mouse button in the entry box.
• Standard cut/copy/paste shortcut keystrokes – ^X/^C/^V
– will work in all entry boxes.
• When the focus changes to an entry box, the contents of
that box are selected (highlighted). This allows you to
replace the current contents of the entry box with new
contents with a simple paste command, without having to delete the old value.
• Dialog boxes will appear on top of their parent window (instead of the upper left
corner of the screen)
