Menu Reference

Farkitect is driven by an application menu bar — File, Edit, View, Diagram, and Help. On the desktop app this is the native menu bar; in the browser it appears as a menu bar at the top of the window. Both are driven by the same commands.

Commands that depend on context — a selection, an open diagram, or your role — are greyed out when they don’t apply.

Roles are abbreviated below: Contributor or Admin means the command needs at least the contributor role; Admin means admin only.

Notes

• All shortcuts use Cmd instead of Ctrl on macOS. Delete is Backspace on macOS.
• Each open diagram also has its own diagram toolbar with diagram-specific controls (save, undo/redo, routing style, stereotype and compartment toggles, theme override, and export) — see The Workspace.
• Many commands also appear in context menus — see the Context Menu Reference.
