User interface: Mouse and keyboard actions |
As well as the standard Windows mouse operations such as selection and dragging, OrcaWave uses some specialised actions. Clicking the right mouse button over the mesh view, a graph or a text window displays a popup menu of frequently used actions, such as copy, paste, export etc. For the mesh view and graph windows the mouse can be used to zoom: hold the ALT key down and, with the left mouse button, drag a box over the region you want to view.
All of the menu items can be selected from the keyboard by pressing ALT followed by the underlined letters.
| Example: | To exit from OrcaWave (menu: File | Exit) press ALT+F then X, or ALT then F then X |
A number of frequently used menu items may also be accessed by shortcut keys (see the tables below). The shortcut keys are also displayed on the OrcaWave menus.
