AccuRev User's Guide (GUI)

You can switch at any time to
multiple columns mode, in which
you define a primary sort column,
a secondary sort column, and so
on. Right-click any column
header to switch sort modes. A
“1” appears next to the direction
icon in the current sort column,
indicating that this is now the
primary sort column.
Click another column to make it
the secondary sort column. A
direction icon annotated with “2”
appears in this column, and the rows are reordered according to the two-level sort.
In multiple columns mode, you can:
• Left-click on any column header without a direction icon: this defines an additional sort level,
using that column.
• Left-click on any column header that already has a direction icon: this reverses the sort order
at that sort level.
• Left-click on any sort column’s level number (1,
2, etc.) to change the sort level of that column.
The rows are reordered automatically each time you
perform any of these actions.

Using the Keyboard to Navigate through
a Table
The keyboard’s navigation keys — up-arrow, down-arrow, PgUp, PgDn, Ctrl-PgUp, Ctrl-PgDn
— move a table’s selection highlight in the expected way. In addition, you can navigate by typing
any alphanumeric character; this moves the selection highlight to the next row whose entry in the
(primary) sort column begins with that character.
User Preferences
The Tools > Preferences command opens a tabbed dialog box, in which you can manage a set of
parameters that influence the way the AccuRev looks and works. The preferences you set here
apply only to you. They are stored in file preferences.xml, in subdirectory .accurev of your home
directory.
This file is also updated by the Tools > Change Active User command.
