The Keyword Scent View is a tree browser of all keywords used in the box. Clicking on the triangle or pressing the <cursor right> key expands the item and shows keywords related by scents. The shown keywords are the ones that co-occur with the selected one (ie there is at least one slip on which both keywords occur together). Following these scents is performing an associative search. This reveals (potentially new) associative connections between keywords. Double clicking on a keyword switches to the Search View and initiates a search with this keyword.
When the left button above the tree browser is selected the whole scent path that was created during the associative search and that leads to this keyword is used in the raw search. Otherwise only the selected keyword is used. If the Search View currently is set to another search type, it is changed to keyword search.
The "Show duplicates in scent path" button determines whether a keyword is displayed multiple times within one path. In the picture below, if this button was set to "on", "democracy" would also be listed as a sub-entry of "England", resulting in the scent path "democracy/England/democracy".
A double click on a keyword in the Keywords Drawer selects this keyword in the tree browser.
