Tips and Tricks
Navigation
Scroll the mouse wheel forward to zooms in and backward to zoom out. Alternatively press + to zoom in and − to zoom out. Press Ctrl+0 to restore the default scale.
Press Ctrl+F to fit the selection into the screen or Ctrl+T to centre it.
Use the middle mouse button or Ctrl+right mouse button to pan the view continuosly.
Use Ctrl+←, ↑, →, ↓ to pan the view in small steps.
Use Ctrl+Shift+←, ↑, →, ↓ to pan editor view in full viewport steps.
Selection
Hold Shift to include objects into a selection and Ctrl to exclude objects from a selection.
Press Alt (or AltGr) to highlight adjacent connections of the node under mouse cursor. (Note that in Linux Alt is often reserved for window drag-and-drop operation. Also, if used remotely via Exceed, by default Alt is taken for local and its presses are not passed to remote.)
Outline a selection rectangle from-left-to-right for adding objects that are inside the selection region, and from-right-to-left for adding objects touched by the selection region.
Press Crtl+A to select everything or Ctrl+I to inverse the selection.
Use left mouse button or ←, ↑, →, ↓ to move selected components.
Press Delete to remove selected components.
Press Ctrl+A to select all objects or Esc to reset selection.
Connection
A polyline connection can be created by generating anchor points (click outside of existing nodes) before clicking the final node.
Anchor points can be added to a connection by double-clicking a desired location on the connection line while the Selection tool is active.
Hold Ctrl to connect continuously – the final node or a previous connection becomes the starting node for the next connection.
Hold Shift to create a replica node for a connection (only works for certain types of nodes, e.g. places of Petri nets and Signal Transition Graphs).
Clipboard and History
Clipboard operations are allowed between the models of the same type: Ctrl+C to copy, Ctrl+X to cut and Ctrl+V to insert.
History of modifications can be browsed: Ctrl+Z to undo and Ctrl+Shift+Z to redo.
Grouping
Ctrl+G combines selected objects into a group and Ctrl+Shift+G splits selected groups into individual objects.
Press Page↓ or double-click a group to enter it. Press Page↑ or double-click outside a group to leave it.
