| Exit | Control+X | Terminate xmmselect |
The Column menu contains the following selectable entries:
| field | key shortcut | purpose |

| eregionanalyse on source image | Control+R | The generation of OGIP spectral products requires the selection of a source extraction region. If the checkbox is selected the task eregionanalyse will be invoked on the selected region to optimize its centroid and radius before the generation of spectral products is performed. |
