These are the menu commands in PathfinderJson.

(Also, please see the page listing keyboard shortcuts available in PathfinderJson.)

File menu

New Character: Create a new character sheet.

New Window: Open another Pathfinder JSON window. This is good for when you want to have multiple sheets open at once.

Open: Open a character sheet file. Note that if a file was already open, unsaved changes are not kept.

Recent Items: Open a recently created/opened character sheet.

Close: Close the current character sheet file. Note that unsaved changes are not kept.

Save: Save changes to the file.

Save as: Save changes to a new file.

Reload File: Discard all unsaved changes, and re-open the file.

Sheet Settings: display a settings dialog that allow you to change how PathfinderJson handles certain aspects of the currently open sheet

Indent JSON Data: If set, indent JSON data in the Raw JSON view and in saved files.

Exit: Close the program.

Edit menu

(only present when in Raw JSON view)

Undo: Undo the last change to the text.

Redo: Redo the last undone change.

Copy: Copy the selected text to the clipboard.

Cut: Copy the selected text, and then delete it.

Paste: Paste in text from the clipboard at the current cursor position.

Select All: Select all text.

Delete: Delete the selected text.

Word Wrap: Toggle word wrap mode. If set, lines that extend longer than the width of the window are wrapped down below.

Find: Open the find bar to search for text.

Calculate menu

Update Calculations: Calculate and update totals, modifiers, and AC in the sheet.

Change Totals with Updates: Set if totals (such as save totals, skill total bonuses, etc.) should be updated when Update Calculations is run. If not set, totals will not be changed, but modifiers will still be.

Change Armor Class with Updates: Set if the armor class (AC) should be updated when Update Calculations is run. If set, armor class is calculated by adding together all Shields and Armor, as well as all AC modifiers. The Armor/Shield totals section is updated as well.

Auto Update Modifiers: Set if ability modifiers (Strength, Charisma, etc.) should be updated throughout the entire sheet automatically when the abilities themselves are changed. If not set, modifiers will only be changed when Update Calculations is pressed.

View menu

Continuous Scroll View: All sections/tabs of the visual sheet view combined together, and you can scroll or use the sidebar to move to different areas of the sheet.

Tabbed Sheet View: The visual sheet view, but each section is only displayed in its own tab. Use the sidebar to display different tabs of the sheet.

Raw JSON View: Use a text editor to directly edit the JSON of the character sheet. Note that this is not recommended when creating new sheets, and instead should be used when editing existing sheets.

Show Toolbar: Set if the toolbar should be visible at the top of the window. If unchecked, the toolbar will not be shown. The toolbar allows quick access to certain commands.

Color Scheme: Change the color scheme of the user interface. Note that if using High-Contrast mode, changing the color scheme will turn off High-Contrast mode.

Use High Contrast: Turn on High-Contrast mode. There are three High-Contrast themes available. High-Contrast mode is an accessibility option useful for those who have trouble seeing text or items that are too close in color (in PathfinderJSON 1.2.3, this was combined into the Color Scheme menu option).

Filename in Titlebar: If set, the name of the currently open file will be displayed in the title bar, rather than the name of the character. Useful if you're editing two files with the same character name.

Tools menu

Dice Roller: Opens the Dice Roller window. The Dice Roller window uses a cryptographically-secure random number generator, and allows you to roll dice virtually.

Text Editor Font: Change the font that used in the Raw JSON editor. This change is saved for future instances of Pathfinder JSON.

Options: Opens the Options window to display all the options available to change in Pathfinder JSON.

Help menu

View on GitHub: Open the GitHub repository, to see the code online and learn more information about Pathfinder JSON.

Feedback/Issues: Give feedback about the program, or report a problem. Feedback can be used to improve the program. (In previous versions, this was named Give Feedback.)

Keyboard Shortcuts: Display a list of keyboard shortcuts included by default in Pathfinder JSON.

Check for Updates: Check to see if there is a newer version of the program available. If there is, the program will display info about the new version and a way to go online to download it.

Auto Check on Startup: Set if the program should try to check for updates when you open it. It only checks for updates once per day this way, but you can always have it check at any time by selecting Check for Updates.

About: View information about the program itself, as well as other legal text and information about third-party software used in the program.
