Hot Box

 Let's go further as we use the space-bar to open the four view panel and use the space-bar to see the required view. But here is an interesting thing is that when we hold space-bar we get a whole new setup of menu on our screen. This is the menu called hotbox. It is a whole menu setup right under the tip of your mouse which allows us to control all menus right from here. You can control file, edit, modify, create, display and each of all menu tool just you do normally.

Hold the space-bar key you will get the hotbox. So you can use mouse arrow to go in the menu but you have to hold the space-bar until select the command.
Right in the center of the hotbox menu you can go in all the four views one by one.
On top we have the same menus file, edit, modify, create and so on. In hotbox, Menu opens then you will find the same options which we have in the menu bar.

There is very interesting menu in hotbox which is recent commands (which is also in the menu bar too). Recent commands hold the history of twenty commands by default (maybe added more) you recently used. So if you want to use the same command the one you recently used, you don't have to dig out again the entire menu. Just go in hotbox recent commands select the command you recently used and here it is.
And down are the commands we are working in. As I am using polygons I have the whole commands of the polygon.
This down Penal will be changed, if we want to change our menu from polygons to animation or rendering, we can also change them from hotbox controls too.
Click on the hotbox controls and select any of the options. The panel will change as you select any of them. And will appear right in front of you.
When you click on hotbox controls there is one other option show all (which I like so much and do all times), If you click on that you see that all menu options appear in your hotbox, Polygon, animation, dynamic and all of them.
