## Layout

Vertically the zbedic window is divided in three regions -- toolbar, wordlist and description box.

### Menu

1. Switch dictionaries - toggles between two most recently used dictionaries. You can find this action useful for bilingual dictionaries, when you look up translations in both directions.
2. Select dictionary - selects the current dictionary
3. History previous/next - navigate through history items. To mimic behavior of back and forward buttons in a web browser, the history list can grow both in upward and downward direction from the current item.
4. Look up selection - select a word in the description box, then press this button to look up its translation or description.
5. Copy - copies the text that is selected to the clipboard
6. Paste - pastes from the clipboard to the input box
7. Zoom in/out - enlarges or diminished text if a bigger/smaller size if available for the current font
8. Configure keyboard - customize keyboard shortcuts
9. Settings - shows the settings dialog box

### Wordlist

The control show the list of defined words that are lexicographically after the word entered in the input box. The number of words shown can be configured from the settings dialog box.

### Description Box

This box shows the word description. If the text in the input box matches an existing word, the description of that word is shown.

## Settings

The Settings dialog box allows the user to configure zbedic. The configuration parameters are:

### Layout Tab

- Layout - place wordlist and description box either horizontally or vertically. If 'Auto' is selected, the orientation will be choosen based on the screen resolution of the PDA
- List box size - size of the wordlist box. Smaller wordlist box gives more space for description
- Tool bar - select tool buttons that should be visible. When the button is hidden, the associated action is still accessible via keyboard shortcut.
- Font - the font used in the application

### Dictionaries Tab

- Dictionary checklist - put a check by the dictionaries that should be visible after pressing the dictionary button. If the checkbox is grayed, the dictionary file was corrupted or could not be loaded.
- Search for new dictionaries - press to search the entire file system for dictionary files (*.dic or *.dz). New dictionaries will be added to the dictionary check list.

### Misc Tab

- Words in list - number of words shown in the wordlist box
- History length - number of words kept in the input box drop-down
- Show pronounciation - for dictionaries that have pronounciation defined, this checkbox defines whether to show it or not. If you don't use a Unicode font that has the pronounciation symbols, you may want to disable the pronounciation
