# Chapter 2. Onscreen Fundamentals

Here you learn how to use ksysv, which shouldn't be hard since it was designed to be as user-friendly as possible.

# 2.1. Mouse

Using ksysv with a mouse or other pointing device is easy: just drag an entry from the "Available Services" area onto one of the six runlevels to start (or resp. stop) it in that runlevel.

You can also move scripts between runlevels, or change the position in a given runlevel, by dragging it around. Doing so removes the entry from its original runlevel (or position). This doesn't happen when you drag an entry from the "Available Services" area.

Note: Entries are moved when you drag them to a new area. To copy a service to a different runlevel, you have to select "Copy" from the "Edit" or context menu and "Paste" it in the target runlevel.

The sorting number of an entry sometimes cannot be calculated. In such a case you have to edit the sorting numbers of surrounding entries before re-trying to insert the service.

Note: Sorting numbers can range from 00 to 99, but no higher.

You can delete entries by dragging them onto the "Trash Can" area (symbolized by an icon depicting a garbage bin).

Note: Currently there is no way to recover items dragged onto the "Trash Can", so be careful!
