Ms Windows Navigation

Just as a quick reminder, we've build the UI to be as efficient as we could think to make it. And there might be faster and better ways of doing it still. Here's a short list of generic shortcuts, which may help you find even more:

• Double click to navigate or open another detail level
• Right-click to open contextual menus
• Shift+F10 open the context menu using the keyboard
• Keyboard shortcuts are listed behind menu items
• Diagram control use the arrow keys to navigate (and/or combined with Alt or Shift)
• F2 starts editing
• Selecting items using Spacebar Arrows (and/or combined with Shift or Control)
