7.6 Keyboard shortcuts and cursor actions

Below is a guide to the mouse actions and keyboard shortcuts for the digitizing app:

  • click-and-drag over image: Move image
  • click-and-drag over marker: Move marker (i.e. landmark, ruler point, curve control point)
  • arrow: Move marker or image (if no marker is selected) in one pixel increments up/down/right/left
  • shift + arrow: Move marker or image in 10 pixel increments up/down/right/left
  • shift + cmnd + arrow: Move image or marker in 100 pixel increments up/down/right/left
  • scroll over image: Zoom in/out of image
  • double-click: Add a marker, re-position a marker, select/unselect marker
  • Auto-advance: This is an option in the Settings panel that will automatically advance to the next marker in sequence after the current marker is digitized.
  • x: Same action as double-click (add a marker, re-position a marker, select/unselect marker)
  • n: Select the next marker in sequence (the sequence for curve control points is start, end, and then intermediate points)
  • p: Select the previous marker in sequence
  • d: Delete the selected marker
  • shift + s: Save shapes
  • <: Move to previous image (in Aspects)
  • >: Move to next image (in Aspects)
