# Menu Options

Exit menu options: The Exit menu normally pops up when you press the Cancel/Escape key when no other menus or popups are showing. It presents options for exiting PinballY and for a few other system options that don't belong in the main "game" menu. These options let you control whether this menu is enabled and which commands it includes.

- Enable Exit menu: Check this box to enable the menu. If you un-check this box, the Cancel/Escape button will be ignored when there aren't any menus or popups displayed. You can disable the Exit menu if you're running your pin cab in a public setting where you don't want users to be able to exit out of PinballY or access any other setup options.

  If the Exit menu is disabled, you can still access its commands via the Operator menu, which you can display via the "service buttons" inside the coin door. The Operator menu is accessed from the service buttons specifically because those buttons are behind the (normally locked) coin door, specifically to limit access in a public setting.

- Include Operator Menu option in Exit menu: Check this box if you want the Exit menu to include a command to show the Operator Menu, which provides access to commands related to game setup and PinballY options. You can access the Operator Menu directly using the service buttons inside the coin door, if you have those; if you don't, this this option lets you access the Operator Menu from the basic menu buttons.

"Cancel/Escape" button behavior in Exit menu: This controls what the Cancel/Escape button does while the Exit menu is being displayed.

- Select the current command means that the Cancel/Escape button acts like the Select button within the Exit menu.
- Close the Exit menu means that the Cancel/Escape button acts like it does in any other menu, canceling the menu.

This option might seem bizarre at first glance - why would you want to make the Cancel button do the opposite of what it normally does? The rationale is that you activate the Exit menu in the first place by pressing the Cancel button, so in a way it's already acting like a "select" button in this context. Some people find it more natural for it to keep acting like a "select" button throughout the Exit menu. This option lets you set it up to match whichever sense seems more natural to you.
