If you find that the menu area (ribbon menu) takes up too much space in the Order reception window, you can make it smaller (step 1) or close it completely (step 2) by doing one of the following

  • Press Ctrl + F1.

  • Double-click on the name of the menu tab (for example Search result).

  • Click the up arrow to the right of the menu tabs.

For example, if you press Ctrl + F1 once or click the up arrow, the ribbon menu will shrink.

If you then press Ctrl + F1 again or click the up arrow once more, the ribbon menu will close.

Opter remembers your last setting.

If the ribbon menu is closed and you want to open it, you can choose to pin the ribbon menu or not:

  • If you want to open and pin the ribbon menu, double-click on one of the menu tabs (for example, Search result) or click once on the down arrow.

    The Ribbon menu will remain until you choose to close it.

  • If you want to reopen the most recently used menu tab and pin the ribbon menu, press Ctrl + F1.

    The Ribbon menu will remain until you choose to close it.

  • If you want to open the ribbon menu, but not pin it, click on one of the menu tabs (for example Search result).

    When the ribbon menu is not attached, it will close if, for example, a pop-up window is opened or if you click in a field in the Order reception.

    You can dock the ribbon menu at any time by pressing Ctrl + F1, clicking the down arrow, or double-clicking any of the menu tabs.

Ctrl + F1 works in Opter as of version 2025.12.00 in the new design.
