Using the Context Menu in VEXcode V5 Blocks

Right-clicking or Long-pressing in VEXcode V5 leads to many options. 


The Context Menu in the Programming area

Right-clicking or Long-pressing in the Programming area in VEXcode V5 leads to the following options:

Undo: will reverse the most recent action.

For example, as shown in this video, the turn for block was deleted. Selecting “Undo” reverses that action.

Redo: will reverse the “Undo.”

In the last example, the turn for block was deleted and the “Undo” reversed that action. As shown in this video, selecting “Redo” will reverse the “Undo” so that the turn for block is deleted.

Clean up Blocks: organizes the blocks so that they are all in a vertical line, as shown in this video.

  • Delete Blocks: all of the blocks in the Programming area can be deleted at once.
