# Extended Context Menu

Pancake provides context-aware tools to help in several scenarios. The tools include component/parameter inspection, calculation profiling, wiring control, etc.

### How to use this feature?

* Select one or more components, **left-**click the canvas while holding Shift; or left-click any wire while holding Ctrl and Shift
* This feature is disabled in Safe mode.

### On a wire

![](/files/-LMfFSQr8HwYZqoYrt04)

* Delete: Delete this wire.
* To source/target: Zoom to source/target
* Set as normal/faint/hidden: Set the style of the chosen wire to normal/faint/hidden
  * Notice: you will not be able to see the wire after it is changed "hidden". You need to right-click the target component to revert the setting.

### On a component/floating parameter

![](/files/-LMfG3mt26DzZyc6YCVt)

* Set all input wires as normal/faint/hidden: Set the styles of all the input wires to normal/faint/hidden
* Inspect: Display a structured report of the component's information

### On a component parameter

![](/files/-LMfGOpukw4eiy_LfxI7)

* Set all input wires as normal/faint/hidden: Set the styles of all the input wires to normal/faint/hidden
* Inspect component: Display a structured information report of the component the parameter belongs to
* Inspect parameter: Display a structured information report of the parameter, including **the order of inputs/outputs** from/to other components.

### On the canvas, after selecting one or more components

![](/files/-LMfGcm2wwV_xCPqaOjh)

* Profile selected components (last run): Display a processing time report of selected components. The information are collected from the last computation.
* Profile selected components (new run): Display a processing time report of selected components. Pancake will initiate new runs and measure processing time. Usually the result is more accurate but it takes more time to process, usually 10x-30x the time of a single run if your script is fast; 2x-5x the time of a single run if your script is time-consuming.
  * See [Performance Profiler](/pancake/features/performance-profiler.md) for more information

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://makemove.gitbook.io/pancake/features/extended-context-menu.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
