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, in the following project, 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. 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.

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