## View Menu

View → Redisplay (F5)

  Refreshes the certificate list.

  Using this function is usually not necessary, as Kleopatra monitors the file system for changes and automatically refreshes the certificate list when needed.

View → Stop Operation (Esc)

  Stops (cancels) all pending operations, e.g. a search, keylisting, or a download.

  This function is only available if at least one operation is active.

  ### Note

  Due to backend limitations, sometimes operations will hang in such a way that this function won't be able to cancel them, right away, or at all.

  In such cases, the only way to restore order is to kill SCDaemon, DirMngr, GpgSM and GPG processes, in that order, via the operating system tools (top, Task-Manager, etc.), until the operation get unblocked.

View → Certificate Details

  Shows the details of the currently selected certificate.

  This function is only available if exactly one certificate is selected.

  This function is also available by double-clicking the corresponding item in the list view directly.

View → Hierarchical Certificate List

  Toggles between hierarchical and flat certificate list mode.

  In hierarchical mode, certificates are arranged in issuer/subject relation, so it is easy to see which certification hierarchy a given certificate belongs to, but a given certificate is harder to find initially (though you can of course use the search bar).

  In flat mode, all certificates are displayed in a flat list, sorted alphabetically. In this mode, a given certificate is easy to find, but it is not directly clear which root certificate it belongs to.

  This function toggles hierarchical mode per tab, i.e. each tab has its own hierarchy state. This is so that you can have both a flat and a hierarchical listing at hand, each in its own tab.

  ### Note

  Hierarchical display is currently only implemented for S/MIME certificates. There is disagreement amongst the developers regarding the correct way to display OpenPGP certificates hierarchically (basically, “parent = signer” or “parent = signee”).

View → Expand All (Ctrl+.)

  Expands all list items in the certificate list view, i.e. makes all items visible.

  This is the default when entering hierarchical keylist mode.

  You can still expand and collapse each individual item by itself, of course.

  This function is only available when View → Hierarchical Certificate List is on.

View → Collapse All (Ctrl+,)

  Collapses all list items in the certificate list view, i.e. hides all but the top-level items.

  You can still expand and collapse each individual item by itself, of course.

  This function is only available when View → Hierarchical Certificate List is on.
