Understanding the Context Menu in VEXcode IQ

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


The Context Menu in the Programming area

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

  • Undo: will reverse the most recent action.

For example, as shown in the project 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 after clicking through a confirmation prompt. This process is shown in this video.

The Context Menu of Block(s)

Right-clicking or Long-pressing on a block in VEXcode IQ leads to the following options:

    • Duplicate Blocks: this action will make an exact copy of the blocks selected, as shown in this video..
