How Starfinder's Menus Work
It is important to understand that Starfinder's menu selections are set in a loop. This means that pressing the Scroll Down key cycles down through all the available options within a given category and then returns to the first option. The Scroll Up key cycles up through the options in the opposite order. Note that this capability is a quick way to get to an option that is near the bottom of the list. To navigate to the "Select Item: Setup" menu option when the "Select Item: Object" menu is displayed: 1. The second line displays an option which may be selected within that menu level. The Scroll keys move up and down within the list of available options, showing one option at a time.
