Contextual Help
Move the mouse pointer over a control or parameter to display brief help messages in
the Info field at the bottom of the screen. These messages explain what each item does
and also show any relevant hot keys.
For example, suppose you want to know what would happen if you clicked on the
ColorWheel command on the Image tab. Move your pointer over the command and
the message Create node: “ColorWheel()” appears in the Info field. Go ahead, click it if
you want. You’ll add a ColorWheel node to the Node View.
Shortcut Menus and Lists
In addition to the contextual help, you can right-click many controls to display shortcut
menus with additional commands and functions. Try this: Right-click the View Channel
button. A shortcut menu appears with the hot keys for each channel display option.
The Info field displays
context-sensitive help.
Your first color wheel!
