Shortcuts

Context

BayesiaLab has a myriad of tools and functions, which are arranged into a comprehensive and deep menu structure. For common or repetitive tasks, you may want to memorize certain shortcuts. In BayesiaLab, shortcuts are grouped into so-called Perspectives. You can utilize the pre-configured Full Perspective shown below, or define a custom Perspective that is optimized for your own workflow.

Usage

To choose your Perspective, select Menus > Window > Perspective and pick your Perspective from the pop-up window.
