    You can use the context menu to apply some of the functions also available
    in the \uicontrol File menu and in the \l {File System Context Menu}
    {File System} view to the file that is selected in the view.

    In addition, you can:

    \list
        \li Copy the full path of the file or just the filename to the
            clipboard.
        \li Pin files to ensure they stay at the top of the list and are not
            closed when \uicontrol {Close All} is used.
    \endlist

    \section1 Specifying Settings for Opening Files

    To specify settings for opening files and handling open files, select
    \uicontrol Edit > \uicontrol Preferences > \uicontrol Environment >
    \uicontrol System:

    \list
        \li In the \uicontrol {When files are externally modified} field,
            select whether you want to be prompted to reload open files
            that were modified externally. For example, when you pull
            changes from a version control system.
        \li Select the \uicontrol {Auto-save modified files} check box to
            automatically save changed files at the intervals specified in
            the \uicontrol Interval field.
        \li Select the \uicontrol {Auto-save files after refactoring} check
            box to automatically save \l{Refactoring}{refactored files}.
        \li Select the \uicontrol {Auto-suspend unmodified files} check
            box to automatically free the resources of open files after
            prolonged inactivity. The files are still listed in the
            \uicontrol {Open Documents} view. Set the minimum number of files
            that should be kept in memory in the \uicontrol {Files to keep open}
            field.
        \li Select the \uicontrol {Warn before opening text files greater than}
            check box to receive warnings about opening big text files.
        \li In the \uicontrol {Maximum number of entries in "Recent Files"}
            field, set the number of recently opened files listed in
            \uicontrol File > \uicontrol {Recent Files}.
    \endlist
