<h2 id="full-menu-view">Full Menu View</h2>
<p>A full menu view supports displaying a list of times on a screen in a very configurable manner. A full menu view supports either a single row or column of values, similar to Horizontal Menu (HM) and Vertical Menu (VM), or in multiple columns.</p>
<h2 id="general-information">General Information</h2>
<p>Items can be selected on a menu via the cursor keys, Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End, or by selecting them via a <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">hotKey</code> - see <strong><em>Hot Keys</em></strong> below.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><img class="emoji" title=":information_source:" alt=":information_source:" src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/2139.png" height="20" width="20"> A full menu view is defined with a percent (%) and the characters FM, followed by the view number. For example: <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">%FM1</code></p>

<h3 id="hot-keys">Hot Keys</h3>
<p>A set of <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">hotKeys</code> are used to allow the user to press a character on the keyboard to select that item, and optionally submit the form.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>hotKeys: { A: 0, B: 1, C: 2, D: 3 }
hotKeySubmit: true
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>This would select and submit the first item if <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">A</code> is typed, second if <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">B</code>, etc.</p>
<h3 id="items">Items</h3>
<p>A full menu, similar to other menus, take a list of items to display in the menu. For example:</p>
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>items: [
{
text: First Item
data: first
}
{
text: Second Item
data: second
}
]
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>If the list is for display only (there is no form action associated with it) you can omit the data element, and include the items as a simple list:</p>
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>["First item", "Second item", "Third Item"]
</code></pre></div></div>
<h3 id="text-overflow">Text Overflow</h3>
<p>The <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">textOverflow</code> option is used to specify what happens when a text string is too long to fit in the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">width</code> defined. Note, because columns are automatically calculated, this can only occur when the text is too long to fit the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">width</code> using a single column.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><img class="emoji" title=":information_source:" alt=":information_source:" src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/2139.png" height="20" width="20"> If <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">textOverflow</code> is not specified at all, a menu can become wider than the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">width</code> if needed to display a single column.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><img class="emoji" title=":information_source:" alt=":information_source:" src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/2139.png" height="20" width="20"> Setting <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">textOverflow</code> to an empty string <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">textOverflow: ""</code> will cause the item to be truncated if necessary without any characters displayed</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><img class="emoji" title=":information_source:" alt=":information_source:" src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/2139.png" height="20" width="20"> Otherwise, setting <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">textOverflow</code> to one or more characters will truncate the value if necessary and display those characters at the end. i.e. <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">textOverflow: ...</code></p>
