2. Application layout

There is a menu in the upper part of the manager's main window and there is an entry box for making queries below the window. On the right at the end of the entry line there is a button with a current corpus name. It is possible to select a different corpus from the displayed list after clicking on the button and holding the mouse button.

Most of the window area is formed by the concordance list where query results are displayed. In the lower part there is the area of detail where a selected KWIC with a larger context is displayed. It is possible to zoom in the context interactively: Up Arrow enlarges the context to the left, Down Arrow to the right. There is a status line on the lowest border of the main window. It informs the user about the operation which is currently in progress. If there is no operation in progress, it informs the user about the lines displayed.

Information about the displayed lines is beside the word Displayed and it has one of the following forms:

• If all the result lines are displayed, All is written in the status line. The word is followed by a slash (/) and the number of lines (e.g. All/13).
• If only a part of the result is displayed, the information about the displayed lines seems more complicated at first (e.g. 141+50/363 (13%)). The first number (before the + symbol) shows the number of the first displayed line. The number of displayed lines follows and there is the total number of lines behind the slash (/). In brackets there is the percentage of the displayed lines of the total number of all result lines. The example shown above can be read in the following way: from the 141st line 50 lines are displayed out of the total 363, which is 13%.

The status line beside the word Line contains the number of the current line and if a line is selected, the word Selected is followed by the number of selected lines.

It is possible to use the tabulator key for moving between the individual entry boxes of the query, the concordance list and the detail. The F12 key switches between the concordance list and the entry box of the query. Space bar on a menu-button shows a menu with all possible values.
