The Nuke menu bar appears at the top of your screen, outside the main window. This menu begins with the options “File,” “Edit,” “Layout,” and so on. When instructed to do so, make selections from the menu bar, or click the right mouse button to choose from a pop-up version of the menu bar.

The “right-click” menu is highly contextual. Its options change according to the location of the mouse pointer. Right-click over the Node Graph, for example, and you’ll see the options from the menu bar and the nodes you can insert from the Toolbar. Right-click over the Viewer pane and you’ll see a menu of Viewer options.

Try the right-click menu when you can’t find appropriate controls or menu options. Many features are hidden in the menu until you’re in the situation where you need to use them.
NOTE: Nuke’s menu bar, at the top of the screen, is organized a little differently between the operating systems, but the right-click menu contains the same options, regardless of the system you’re using to run Nuke.
