+ <para>The instructions in this manual are for three buttoned, right handed mouse devices, the most common type.
+ If you use another type of mouse or pointing device, you should take care to locate the corresponding buttons on your mouse. If you use a left-handed mouse
+ see the paragraph on setting mouse orientation below.
+ </para>
+
+ <note><para>If you set your mouse device to be left handed, you should reverse the mouse button
+ conventions used in this manual. This is normally also implied in most documentation and in many
+ applications.</para></note>
+
+ <para>Some mice lack a middle button. If you have a two-button mouse device,
+ then your system may be configured to use <firstterm>chording</firstterm> to allow middle button simulation. If chording is activated,
+ you press the left and right mouse buttons simultaneously, to simulate the
+ the middle mouse button. A middle mouse button is by no means necessary to use MATE.</para>

+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Left mouse button</term>
+ <listitem><para>The button on the left side of a mouse device. This is the main mouse button, used for selecting,
+ activating, pressing buttons etc... When you are told to "click" it is implied that you should click with the left button,
+ unless specifically stated.
+ </para></listitem>

+ <term>Middle mouse button</term>

+ button click.</para></listitem>

+ <para>The <application>Caja</application> file manager provides
+a simple and integrated way to manage your files and applications. You can use the
+file manager to do the following:</para>
+ <itemizedlist>

+ <listitem><para>Install and remove fonts</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ <para>The file manager lets you organize your files into folders. Folders can contain files and may also contain other folders. Using folders can help you find your files more easily.</para>
+ <para><application>Caja</application> also manages the desktop. The desktop
+lies behind all other visible items on your screen. The desktop
+is an active component of the way you use your computer.</para>
+ <para>Every user has a Home Folder. The Home Folder contains all of the user's files. The desktop is another
+folder. The desktop contains special icons allowing easy access to the users Home Folder, Trash, and also removable media such as floppy disks, CDs and USB flashdrives.</para>
+ <para><application>Caja</application> is always running while you are using MATE. To open a new <application>Caja</application> window, double-click on an appropriate icon on the desktop such as <guimenuitem>Home</guimenuitem> or <guimenuitem>Computer</guimenuitem>, or choose an item from <link linkend="places-menu"><guimenuitem>Places</guimenuitem> menu</link> on the top panel.</para>
+ <para>In MATE many things are files, such as word processor documents, spreadsheets, photos, movies, and music.</para>

+ <sect2 id="caja-presentation">
+ <title>File Manager Presentation</title>
+ <para><application>Caja</application> provides two modes in which you can interact with your filesystem: spatial and browser mode. You may decide which method you prefer and set <application>Caja</application> to always use this by selecting (or deselecting) <guilabel>Always open in browser windows</guilabel> in the <guilabel>Behavior</guilabel> tab of the <xref linkend="caja-preferences"/>.</para>
+ <para>Spatial mode is the default in MATE, but your distributor, vendor, or system administrator may have configured <application>Caja</application> to use browser mode by default.</para>
+ <para>The following explains the difference between the two modes:</para>
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry><!-- BROWSER -->
+ <term>Browser mode: browse your files and folders</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>The file manager window represents a browser, which can display any location. Opening a folder updates the current file manager window to show the contents of the new folder.</para>
+ <para>As well as the folder contents, the browser window displays a toolbar with common actions and locations, a location bar that shows the current location in the hierarchy of folders, and a sidebar that can hold different kinds of information.</para>
+ <para>In Browser Mode, you typically have fewer file manager windows open at a time. For more information on using browser mode see <xref linkend="caja-browser-mode"/>.</para>

+ <para>The file manager window represents a particular folder. Opening a folder opens the new window for that folder. Each time you open a particular folder, you will find its window displayed in the same place on the screen and the same size as the last time you viewed it (this is the reason for the name 'spatial mode').</para>
+ <para>Using spatial mode may lead to more open file manager windows on the screen. On the other hand, some users find that representing files and folders as though they were real physical objects with particular locations makes it easier to work with them.

+ <para>In spatial mode each open <application>Caja</application> windows shows only one location. Selecting a second location will open a second <application>Caja</application> window.

+ <para>Some people consider spatial mode better, particularly for moving files or folders to different location, others find the number of open windows daunting. <xref linkend="goscaja-FIG-naut-spatial-many-open" /> shows an example of spatial browsing with many open locations.</para>

+ <para>Linux and Unix file systems are organised in a hierarchical, tree-like structure. The highest level of the file system is the <filename>/</filename> or <emphasis>root directory</emphasis>. In the Unix and Linux design philosophy, everything is considered a file - including hard disks, partitions and removable media. This means that all files and directories (including other disks and partitions) exist under the root directory.

+ <para>For example, <filename>/home/jebediah/cheeses.odt</filename> shows the correct full path to the <filename>cheeses.odt</filename> file that exists in the <filename>jebediah</filename> directory which is under the <filename>home</filename> directory, which in turn, is under the root (<filename>/</filename>) directory.

+ </highlights>
+ <!-- move the following to its own section, "Using Pref Tools"? -->
+ <para>A preference tool is a small application that allows you to change settings in the MATE Desktop. Each preference tool covers a particular aspect of your computer. For example, with the <application>Mouse</application> preference tool you can set your mouse to left-handed or right-handed use, or change the speed of the pointer on the screen. With the <application>Windows</application> preference tool you can set behaviour common to all windows such as the way in which you select them with the mouse.</para>
+ <para>To open a preference tool, choose <menuchoice><guimenu>System</guimenu><guisubmenu>Preferences</guisubmenu></menuchoice> in the top panel. Choose the tool that you require from the submenu.</para>
+ <para>With a few exceptions, the changes you make to settings in a preference tool take effect immediately, without needing to close the preference tool. You can keep the preference tool window open while you try the changes, and make further changes if you wish.</para>
+ <para>Some applications or system components may add their own preference tools to the menu.</para>
+ <note><para>Some preference tools let you modify essential parts of your system, and therefore require administrative access. When you open the preference tool, a dialog box will prompt you for your password. These are in the <menuchoice><guimenu>System</guimenu><guisubmenu>Administration</guisubmenu></menuchoice> submenu. This menu also contains more complex utility applications for managing and updating your system.</para></note>

+ <!-- NOTE TO TRANSLATORS: This section is material taken from mate-desktop/desktop-docs/mate-feedback/ Look for existing translations there before translating it all over again :) -->
+ <para>
+ If you have found a bug in a MATE application, please
+ report it! Developers do read all the bug reports and try to fix
+ these bugs. Please try to be as specific as possible when
+ describing the circumstances under which the bug shows (what
+ commands did you enter? which buttons did you click?). If there were any
+ error messages, be sure to include them, too.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The easiest way to report bugs is by using <application>Bug Buddy</application>, MATE's built-in bug reporting tool. This will launch automatically in the event that an application crashes. The details MATE developers need are automatically collected, but you can further help by giving information about what you were doing when the crash took place.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ You can also submit bugs and browse the list of known bugs by
+ connecting to the <ulink type="http"
+ url="https://github.com/mate-desktop/">MATE bug tracking
+ database</ulink>. You will need to register before you can
+ submit any bugs this way.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Please note that some of MATE applications are developed outside of MATE, or by
+ commercial companies (these products are still free
+ software). For example, <application>blueman</application>, a
+ bluetooth application, is developed at <ulink type="http"
+ url="https://github.com/blueman-project/blueman/">GitHub</ulink>. Bugs reports and
+ comments about these products should be directed to the
+ respective organization or company. If you are using <application>Bug
+ Buddy</application>, it will automatically send bug reports to

+<section id="overview-desktop">
+ <title>The Desktop</title>
+ <anchor id="caja-desktop"/>
+
+ <para>The desktop lies behind all other components on your screen. When no windows are visible, the desktop is that part of the screen between the top and bottom panels. You can place files and folders on the desktop that you want to have easy access to.</para>
+ <para>The desktop also has several special objects on it:</para>
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>The <interface>Computer</interface> icon gives you access to CDs, removable media such as floppy disks, and also the entire filesystem (also known as the root filesystem). By default, you do not have the security permissions to read other users' files or edit system files, but you may need to do so something such as configure a web server on the computer.</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>Your Home Folder, labelled <interface><replaceable>username</replaceable>'s Home</interface><!-- translators, change this example as required for your locale -->, where all of your personal files are kept. You can also open this folder from the <guimenu>Places</guimenu> menu.</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>The <interface>Trash</interface> is a special folder in which to place files and folders you no longer need. For more on this, see <xref linkend="caja-trash"/>.</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>When you insert a CD, a flash drive, or other removable media, or a device containing files such as a music player or a digital camera, an icon representing this device will appear on the desktop.</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>As you work with your computer, the desktop becomes obscured by the windows you are working with. To quickly reveal the desktop by minimizing all windows, you can do one of the following:</para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>Click on the <guibutton>Show Desktop</guibutton> button at the far left of the <link linkend="bottom-panel">bottom panel</link>.</para></listitem>

+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>Either action will also restore your windows to their previous state. Alternatively, you can switch to another workspace to see the desktop.</para>
+
+ <para>You can change the colour of the desktop background or the image displayed there. For more on this, see <xref linkend="prefs-desktopbackground"/>.</para>
+
+ <note><para>The files and folders you put on the desktop are stored in a special folder within your Home Folder, called <filename>Desktop</filename>. Like any other folder, you can put files and other folders directly into it. The only difference is that anything placed into the Desktop folder will then show up on desktop itself.</para></note>

+ </indexterm>
+
+ <para>A <firstterm>window</firstterm> is a rectangular area of the screen, usually with a border all around and a title bar at the top. You can think of a window as a screen within the screen. Each window displays an application, allowing you to have more than one application visible, and work on more than one task at a time. You can also think of windows as pieces of paper on your desktop: they can overlap, or be side by side, for example.</para>
+
+ <para>You can control a window's position of the screen, as well as its size. You can control which windows overlap other windows, so the one you want to work with is completely visible. For more about moving and resizing windows, see <xref linkend="windows-manipulating"/>.</para>
+
+ <para>Each window is not necessarily a different application. An application usually has one main window, and may open additional windows at the request of the user.</para>
+
+ <para>The rest of this section describes the different types of windows and how you
+ can interact with them.</para>
+
+ <section id="windows-types">

+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Dialog windows</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Dialog windows appear at the request of an application window. A dialog window may alert you to a problem, ask for confirmation of an action, or request input from you.</para>
+
+ <para>For example, if you tell an application to save a document, a dialog will ask you where you want to save the new file. If you tell an application to quit while it is still busy, it may ask you to confirm that you want it to abandon work in progress.</para>
+
+ <para>Some dialogs do not allow you to interact with the main application window until you have closed them: these are called <firstterm>modal</firstterm> dialogs. Others can be left open while you work with the main application window: these are called <firstterm>transient</firstterm> dialogs.</para>
+
+ <tip><para>You can select the text in a dialog with the mouse. This allows you to copy it to the clipboard (by right-clicking the text and selecting <guilabel>Copy</guilabel>), and paste it into another application.

For example, you might want to read text on a web page while writing with a word processor, or to change to another application to do a different task or check its progress.</para>
+
+ <para>You can <firstterm>minimize</firstterm> a window if you are not currently interested in seeing it. This hides it from view. You can <firstterm>maximise</firstterm> a window to fill the whole screen so you can give it your full attention.</para>
+
+ <para><anchor id="gosoverview-FIG-33"/>Most of these actions are carried out by using the mouse on different parts of the the window's frame (see <xref linkend="mouse-actions"/> for a recap of using the mouse). The top edge of the window frame, called the <firstterm>titlebar</firstterm> because it also displays the title of the window, contains several buttons that change the way the window is displayed.</para>
+ <para><xref linkend="fig-titlebar-anno-window"/> shows the titlebar for a typical application window. From left to right, this contains the Window Menu button, the window title, the minimize button, the maximize button, and the close button.</para>

When a window has focus, any actions such as mouse clicks, typing text, or keyboard shortcuts, are directed to the application in that window. Only one window can have focus at a time.

+ <para>Workspaces allow you to manage which windows are on your screen. You can imagine workspaces as being virtual screens, which you can switch between at any time.

The applications in each workspace will remain there when you switch to other workspaces.</para>

+ <para>An <firstterm>application</firstterm> is a type of computer program that allows you to perform a particular task. You might use applications to create text documents such as letters or reports; to work with spreadsheets; to listen to your favorite music; to navigate the Internet; or to create, edit, or view images and videos. For each of these tasks, you would use a different application.</para>

+
+ <para>All MATE applications have many features in common, which makes it easier to learn how to work with a new MATE application. The rest of this section describes some of these features.</para>
+
+ <section id="overview-lookandfeel">
+ <title>Common Features</title>
+
+ <para>The applications that are provided with the MATE Desktop
+ share many common features, such as similar open and save dialogs and similar-looking icons. This is because they have all been developed using the MATE development platform. An application developed using this platform is called a <firstterm>MATE-compliant application</firstterm>. For example, <application>Caja</application> and the <application>pluma</application> text editor are MATE-compliant applications.</para>
+ <para>Some of the features of MATE-compliant applications are as follows:</para>
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Consistent look-and-feel</para>
+ <para>MATE-compliant applications have a consistent look-and-feel. You can use the <link linkend="prefs-theme"><application>Appearance</application> preference tool</link> to change the look-and-feel of your MATE-compliant applications.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Menubars, toolbars, and statusbars</para>
+ <para>Most MATE-compliant applications have a menubar, a toolbar, and a statusbar.
+ The menubars usually have a similar structure; for example, the <guimenu>Help</guimenu> menu always
+ contains an <guimenuitem>About</guimenuitem> menu item.</para>
+ <para>A <firstterm>toolbar</firstterm> is a bar that appears under the menubar.
+ A toolbar contains buttons for the most commonly-used commands. A <firstterm>statusbar</firstterm> is a bar at the bottom of a window that provides information about the current state of what you are viewing in the window. Applications might also contains other bars. For example, <application>Caja</application> contains a location bar.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Default shortcut keys</para>
+ <para>MATE-compliant applications use the same shortcut keys to perform the
+ same actions. See <xref linkend="keyboard-skills"/> for a list of common shortcut keys.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Drag-and-drop</para>
+ <para>When you drag-and-drop something into a MATE-compliant application,
+ it will recognize the format of the items that you dragged and will handle
+ them in an appropriate manner. For example, when you drag a HTML file
+ from a <application>Caja</application> window to a web browser, the file
+ is displayed in HTML format in the browser. However, when you drag the HTML
+ file to a text editor, the file is displayed in plain text format in the text
+ editor. </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </section>
+ <section id="overview-files">
+ <title>Working With Files</title>
+ <para>The work you do with an application is stored in <firstterm>files</firstterm>. These may be on your computer's hard drive, or on a removable device such as a USB flash drive. You <firstterm>open</firstterm> a file to examine it or work on it, and you <firstterm>save</firstterm> a file to store your work. When you are done working with a file, you <firstterm>close</firstterm> it.</para>
+ <para>All MATE applications use the same dialogs for opening and saving files, presenting you with a consistent interface. The following sections cover the open and the save dialog in detail.</para>
+ </section>
+ <section id="filechooser-open">
+ <title>Choosing a File to Open</title>
+ <para>The <guilabel>Open File</guilabel> dialog allows you to choose a file to open in an application.</para>
+ <para>The right-hand pane of the dialog lists files and folders in the current location. You can use the mouse or the arrow keys on your keyboard to select a file.</para>
+ <para>Once a file is selected in the list, perform one of the following actions to open it:</para>
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>Click <guibutton>Open</guibutton>.</para></listitem>

+ <para>If you open a folder or a location instead of a file, the <guilabel>Open File</guilabel> dialog updates to show the contents of that folder or location.</para>
+
+ <para>To change the location shown in the right-hand pane, do one of the following:</para>
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>Open a folder that is listed in the current location.</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>Open an item in the left-hand pane. This pane lists places such as your Documents folder, your Home Folder, media such as CDs and flash drives, places on your network, and your <link linkend="caja-bookmarks">bookmarks</link>.</para></listitem>

+ <section id="filechooser-open-filter">
+ <title>Filtering the File List</title>
+ <para>You can restrict the file list to show only files of certain types. To do this, choose a file type from the drop-down list beneath the file list pane. The list of file types depends on the application you are currently using. For example, a graphics application will list different image file formats, and a text editor will list different types of text file.</para>

+ <section id="filechooser-open-folder">
+ <title>Choosing a folder</title>
+ <para>You might sometimes need to choose a folder to work with rather than open a file. For example, if you use <ulink type="help" url="help:engrampa"><application>Archive Manager</application></ulink> to extract files from an archive, you need to choose a folder to place the files into. In this case, the files in the current location are greyed out, and pressing <guibutton>Open</guibutton> when a folder is selected will choose that folder.</para>
