Menus at top of the main window offer many options for configuration
and operation. Most of the items are self-explanatory; a few
additional details are provided below. Keyboard shortcuts for some
frequently used menu items are listed at the right edge of the menu.
==== _WSJT-X_ menu
image::MacAppMenu.png[align="left",alt="Mac App Menu"]
This menu appears on the Macintosh only. *Settings* appears here,
labeled as *Preferences*, rather than on the *File* menu. *About
WSJT-X* appears here rather than on the *Help* menu.
[[FILE_MENU]]
==== File menu

[[CONFIG_MENU]]
==== Configuration Menu

Most users of more than one mode prefer to create and use entries on
the *Configurations* menu for switching between modes. You can
*Clone* the configuration currently in use, *Rename* the clone as
desired, and then make all desired settings for the new configuration.
The easiest way is to start with a working setup for some mode, say
*FT8*. *Clone* it, then select *Configurations | FT8 - Copy | Rename
...*, enter a new name, say *FT4*, and click *OK*. Then select the
new name from the *Configurations* menu and choose *Switch To*. When
the new configuration comes up you can change any desired settings:
for example, select *FT4* from the *Mode* menu. Configurations save
all settings that are normally restored after a program restart,
including which of the defined configurations is currently active.
As well as switching between configurations while running _WSJT-X_ you
can also start the application from the command line in any desired
configuration. Use the command-line option
`--config <configuration-name>`, or `-c` for short, as in these
examples for configurations `FT8` and `Echo`:
wsjtx --config FT8
wsjtx -c Echo
