Keyboard Shortcuts

InterMapper runs on multiple platforms. Since different platforms have different modifier keys, (keys that change the function or meaning of another key) the keyboard shortcuts vary slightly from one platform to another.

General Rules

The primary difference is between Macintosh and Windows machines. Use the following rules, depending on your platform:

To choose a menu item using the keyboard:

  Macintosh: Commandkey
  Windows, Unix, Linux: Control key

To choose an item from a context menu:

  Macintosh: Control-click (hold Control, click with the mouse)
  Windows, Unix, Linux: Right-click

Finding Menu Item Shortcuts

Each menu item that has a shortcut shows the key required for the shortcut in the menu.

Keyboard Navigation

You can use the keyboard to speed up a number of operations. See Keyboard Navigation for a complete set of navigation keystrokes.

A number of other shortcuts are available to help you work efficiently. See Quick Reference - Editing Your Map for additional selection and scrolling techniques.
