Commands

While Orbit is popped up, there are various things that can be done so that Orbit performs different tasks.

General Commands

If you spin the mouse wheel up or down, this will make Orbit spin its last loop clockwise or counter-clockwise. This is useful when accessing items which loaded on the other side of the loop.

Spinning the wheel is also used to scroll to show more items whenever the loop is too big to fit there. you will see an indicator of which direction to spin the wheel to show more items.

Right clicking an item will bring up a context menu with specific actions that can be performed on that kind of item.

One menu option which is common to ALL items is the Orbit menu, where you can Configure Orbit, come to this Online Manual or Exit Orbit. This menu is accessed by right clicking the Orbit tray icon.

If you have the "Always open folders in the same loop" option selected, clicking the middle mouse button inside the Orbit ring makes Orbit go up a level, going to the previous folder accessed. This only works on Orbit folders folders on the hard disk don't work with this.

Item Specific Commands

By Ctrl+Clicking a folder or physical folder item, you tell Orbit to open this folder on the first loop, meaning to open only one loop with this folder's contents.

You cannot add or remove items which are real files nor can you add or remove real folders. The only items allowed to be modified from whithin Orbit are Orbit's own items. This is mostly for security reasons.
