Collusion is full of secret features. I am an engineer at heart, so I'd love to liberate them all to you, but for now lets keep it simple and begin with some shortcuts. Here goes:
Mouse:Just like your favourite games or maps tools, we support the mouse fully, panning, scrolling, selecting, dragging etc.
Keyboard:
Full of the usual suspects that you might expect.
- Panning:
- Keys: Up, Down, Left and Right or W, A, S and D.
- Just like your favourite games, arrows will let you pan around the canvas freely.
- Holding shift will reduce the amount panned to a single unit.
- Using W, A, S and D instead of arrows will free up your mouse hand to do the clicking.
- If there is a selection, this will instead move your selection around, hopeful for precise positioning - without your cursor in the way.
- Fullscreen:
- Keys: Alt + Enter, F.
- Just like those old school shooters. Great for getting some screen real-estate, immersing yourself in content, or simply doing a presentation.
- Switching tools:
- Keys: 1 through 5, Q and Esc.
- Toggles through draw - 1, pan - 2, select - 2 and different object add types. Esc will take you back to pan mode.
- These are useful for switching modes quickly or when your menus aren't visible and you don't want them to be!
- You can cycle between tools with Q.
- Toggle the menus:
- Keys: Tilde / ~.
- Show and hides the menus, very neat.
- Switch to default mode:
- Keys: Esc.
- Takes you back to pan mode.
- Select All:
- Keys: Ctrl / Cmd + A.
- Selects everything, as you would expect.
- Cut:
- Keys: Ctrl / Cmd + X.
- Cuts the selected objects, removing them but adding it to the clipboard.
- This works cross project and even between windows and tabs.
- Copy:
- Keys: Ctrl / Cmd + C.
- Copies the selected objects, adding them to the clipboard.
- This works cross project and even between windows and tabs.
- Paste:
- Keys: Ctrl / Cmd + V.
- Pastes the objects in the clipboard, adding them to the canvas, but keeping them in the clipboard.
- This works cross project and even between windows and tabs.
- Undo:
- Keys: Ctrl / Cmd + Z.
- Reverses the last action.
- Redo:
