Basic Controls

The basic controls for this program are operated using a mouse. You can use a keyboard to input text and use menu bar shortcuts.

Many things can be selected and/or confirmed by clicking on them, such as menus and displayed items. You can also switch between entries in a list, or drag scroll bars to operate them.

In many cases, right-clicking in an editing area will display a context menu, with various actions available.

Mouse Wheel

When areas with Enlarge/Reduce buttons are selected (such as the preview area or editing areas), you can scroll around inside the selected area by dragging while pressing and holding the mouse wheel. You can also enlarge and reduce an area by rotating the mouse wheel while holding the "Ctrl" key.
