F4.2} Keyboard Map (Geometry)

 Key    Meaning
 ===    ===========================
 a      small [a] alone
 A      capital [A] = Shift + a
 C-a:   Control + a (small)
 C-A:   Control + Shift + A  (capital)
 A-<-:  Alt + <- left key

 Control-Tab: Rotate on windows

   Mouse Modifiers:
       Shortcut        Description
       --------        -----------
       Ctrl            "controls" or changes the action
       Shift           aligns to grid, or to intersections of bodies
       ESCape          cancels the active action, selection of
                       bodies, zones

   Mouse:
       Shortcut                Description
       --------                -----------
       Left button             User selectable action from the tools
          +Shift               Add to the selection
          +Control             Toggle the selection of the clicked item
          +Shift+Control       Remove from the selection

       Middle button
          click                Centers viewport to hit object
                               The hit distance is used for rotation as well
          drag-alone           Pan/Move viewport
          +Shift               select rectangle area and zoom into
          +Shift+Ctrl          select rectangle area and zoom out
          +Ctrl                rotate projection using a virtual trackball
          +Ctrl+Shift          rotate projection using a virtual
                               trackball with steps of 15 deg

       Right button
          alone                brings up the pop-up menu
       (or Ctrl-Spacebar):

          +Shift               Pan/Move viewport
          +Ctrl                rotate projection using a virtual trackball

       Mouse Wheel
          alone                Zoom In/Out current viewport by 20%
          +Shift               Zoom In/Out current viewport by 2%
          +Ctrl                Move current viewport forward/backwards
          +Ctrl+Shift          Moves viewport with smaller intervals

     
Note:
Ctrl+Shift is different than Shift+Ctrl. The order is important which key is pressed first when the mouse action starts e.g Ctrl + Middle-Button Starts the rotation then pressing + Shift while continue the rotation aligning to 15deg intervals Shift + Middle-Button Starts drawing the rectangle for zooming in + Ctrl Changes the direction of the zoom to Out When laptop mode is enabled in the Configuration F6 then the middle and right buttons are swapped
