Keyboard shortcuts allow you to work with the scene display as follows:
Changing the View

Moving the Image on an Axis
| Action
|
Keyboard Shortcut
|
| Move the image in a negative direction around the x-axis. Each keystroke turns the image 10 degrees. The shifts are in relation to the focal point of the display.
|
<X>
|
| Move the image in a positive direction around the x-axis.
|
<Shift>+<X>
|
| Move the image in a negative direction around the y-axis.

|
<Shift>+<Y>
|
| Move the image in a negative direction around the z-axis.

Drop-Down List
The scalar function and vector function drop-down lists can be opened by right-clicking the color bar.
| Action
|
Keyboard Shortcut
|
| Change the selection to the item above.
|
<Up> arrow
|
| Change the selection to the item below.
|
<Down> arrow
|
| Accept the list selection, reverting to view mode.
|
<Enter>
|
| Go to view mode, not changing the value if you have changed it.
|
<Esc>
|
When you have the drop-down list open, pressing any letter is always interpreted as the first letter of the required item. Repeated presses of a particular key cycles through the set of items that begin with that letter.
For example, suppose you want to select the scalar function
Temperature. When you press
<T>, you may highlight
Tangential Velocity (depending on the simulation). If you try pressing
<T> followed by
<E>, you may highlight
Tangential Velocity and then
Effective Conductivity. Instead, keep pressing
<T> until
Temperature is highlighted. Then press
<Enter> to complete the selection.
