# Edit and View Menus

## Standard Edit Entries

Besides the standard edit entries (Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete) that operate on the currently selected item, there is also the Delete All which removes ALL layers (including the automatically created Default Map).

## Map/Position Edit Entries

Copy Center Location

- This will copy the current center of the viewport as coordinate lat/lon pair in plain text, such that it can be then be pasted into other applications.

Flush Map Cache

- This will empty the in memory map cache, hence it should reduce the amount of memory that &appname; is using.

Set Default Location

- This will set the Default Location (AKA the Home Location) to current center position of the viewport.

  See GoHome.

## &appname; Configuration Edit Entries

Allows access to &appname; prefs.

Allows access to the Layers defaults. When creating a new layer it will start with the default values as specified here.

Access to show the messages that are being suppressed and the ability to reset back to the default of no messages being suppressed. Some warning style messages can be selected to be ignored, since if they repeatedly come up in your work flow they could otherwise become tiresome.

## Mode View Entries
