Palette Editor – Keyboard Interface

Sometimes, especially when working with many knots, it is not convenient to always work with the mouse. Due to that, a keyboard interface lets you perform some operations. The following sheet lists the possible key combinations:

Key Action
Cursor left Moves the current knot one pixel to the left
Cursor right Moves the current knot one pixel to the right
Cursor up Moves the current knot one pixel upwards
Cursor down Moves the current knot one pixel downwards
PageUp Moves the current knot 16 units upwards
PageDown Moves the current knot 16 units downwards
Ctrl-Cursor left Deselects the current knot, selects the previous knot
Ctrl-Cursor right Deselects the current knot, selects the next knot
Shift-Ctrl-Cursor left Selects the previous knot, adding it to the current selection list
Shift-Ctrl-Cursor right Selects the next knot, adding it to the current selection list
Pos1 Deselects the current knot, selects the very first knot in the displayfield
End Deselects the current knot, selects the last knot in the displayfield
Shift+Pos1 Adds all knots to the current selection which lay between the current knot and the first knot in the displayfield
Shift+End Adds all knots to the current selection which lay between the current knot and the last knot in the displayfield
Del Deletes/removes all knots which are currently selected
Backspace Deletes/removes all knots which are currently selected
Shift Preserves the current selection, and thus lets you add knots to the current selection.
