The Menu Bar

.. image:: menubar.png

GPS provides a standard menu bar giving access to all operations. However,
it is usually easier to access a feature using the various contextual menus
provided throughout GPS: these give direct access to the most relevant
actions in the current context (for example, a project, directory, file, or
entity). Contextual menus pop up when you click the right mouse button or
use the special :kbd:`open contextual menu` key on most keyboards.

You can access the following entries from the menu bar:

  * :menuselection:`File` (see :ref:`The_File_Menu`)
