Keys in particular places

Keys that work in one place only

Where	Keys	What they do
Mouse wheel over the plan	Scroll, ⇧ Scroll, ⌘ Scroll	With Scroll wheel on Auto (the default), a trackpad scroll pans and a mouse wheel zooms at the pointer. ⇧ always pans sideways and ⌘ always zooms. Change it in View options, Settings or this dialog.
Empty space on the plan	Drag, ⌘ drag	With a mouse or trackpad, a drag draws a selection box. With Scroll wheel on Zoom, a plain drag pans and ⌘ drag draws the box. On a touch screen a finger pans. ⌘ drag can also start on an object.
The 2D plan	⌘+, ⌘-, ⌘0	Zoom the plan instead of the browser page. In Elevations they zoom the drawing; in 3D or with a dialog open they do nothing.
Anywhere in the editor	Esc	Closes one thing at a time, innermost first: the plan summary or View options, All properties, the selection, then the open panel. With a drawing tool picked and nothing being drawn, it goes back to Select.
A property field	⌘Z, ⌘Y	Once the value is entered, they leave the field and undo or redo the plan. While you are still typing, they undo or redo your typing.
The selection pill	← →, Home End	Move between the pill’s buttons without nudging the selection
A text note being typed	↵, ⌘↵, Esc	↵ starts a new line, ⌘↵ saves (so does clicking away) and Esc cancels. Keys typed in the note never reach the editor shortcuts.
The Set image scale dialog	↵	Applies the scale typed in Real length
The 3D view, Orbit or Dollhouse	Del or Backspace, R / ⇧R, ⌘D	Delete, rotate (an item, stair, lift or group) or duplicate what you selected in 3D. Walk mode doesn’t edit; in Split the plan takes the keys.
