## Full Menu View
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.
## General Information
Items can be selected on a menu via the cursor keys, Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End, or by selecting them via a `hotKey` - see ***Hot Keys*** below.
:information_source: A full menu view is defined with a percent (%) and the characters FM, followed by the view number. For example: `%FM1`
:information_source: See [Art](../art.md) for general information on how to use views and common configuration properties available for them.
### Properties
| Property | Description |
|-------------|--------------|
| `textStyle` | Sets the standard (non-focus) text style. See **Text Styles** in [Art](../art.md) |
| `focusTextStyle` | Sets focus text style. See **Text Styles** in [Art](../art.md)|
| `itemSpacing` | Used to separate items vertically in the menu |
| `itemHorizSpacing` | Used to separate items horizontally in the menu |
| `height` | Sets the height of views to display multiple items vertically (default 1) |
| `width` | Sets the width of a view to display one or more columns horizontally (default 15)|
| `focus` | If set to `true`, establishes initial focus |
| `submit` | If set to `true` any `accept` action upon this view will submit the encompassing **form** |
| `hotKeys` | Sets hot keys to activate specific items. See **Hot Keys** below |
| `hotKeySubmit` | Set to submit a form on hotkey selection |
| `argName` | Sets the argument name for this selection in the form |
| `justify` | Sets the justification of each item in the list. Options: left (default), right, center |
| `itemFormat` | Sets the format for a list entry. See **Entry Formatting** in [Art](../art.md) |
| `fillChar` | Specifies a character to fill extra space in the menu with. Defaults to an empty space |
| `textOverflow` | If a single column cannot be displayed due to `width`, set overflow characters. See **Text Overflow** below |
| `items` | List of items to show in the menu. See **Items** below.
| `focusItemFormat` | Sets the format for a focused list entry. See **Entry Formatting** in [Art](../art.md) |
### Hot Keys
A set of `hotKeys` are used to allow the user to press a character on the keyboard to select that item, and optionally submit the form.
Example:
```
hotKeys: { A: 0, B: 1, C: 2, D: 3 }
hotKeySubmit: true
```
This would select and submit the first item if `A` is typed, second if `B`, etc.
### Items
A full menu, similar to other menus, take a list of items to display in the menu. For example:
```
items: [
{
text: First Item
data: first
}
{
text: Second Item
data: second
}
]
```
### Text Overflow
The `textOverflow` option is used to specify what happens when a text string is too long to fit in the `width` defined. Note, because columns are automatically calculated, this can only occur when the text is too long to fit the `width` using a single column.
:information_source: If `textOverflow` is not specified at all, a menu can become wider than the `width` if needed to display a single column.
:information_source: Setting `textOverflow` to an empty string `textOverflow: ""` will cause the item to be truncated if necessary without any characters displayed
:information_source: Otherwise, setting `textOverflow` to one or more characters will truncate the value if necessary and display those characters at the end. i.e. `textOverflow: ...`
## Examples
### A simple vertical menu - similar to VM
![Example](../../assets/images/full_menu_view_example1.gif "Vertical menu")
<details>
<summary>Configuration fragment (expand to view)</summary>
```
FM1: {
submit: true
argName: navSelect
width: 1
items: [
{
text: login
data: login
}
{
text: apply
data: new user
}
{
text: about
data: about
}
{
text: log off
data: logoff
}
]
}
```
</details>
### A simple horizontal menu - similar to HM
