Keyboard Shortcuts General to the Design Surface
The following table describes the keyboard navigation that is general to both the Process Area and Port Surfaces areas of the design surface.
| Key | Effect |
|---|---|
| TAB | Selection and focus moves to the shape with inactive selection in the next design surface area on the right (that is, the Process Area or Port Surface). Example: Selection and focus is currently on a port in the left Port Surface. When the TAB key is pressed, selection and focus move to the shape that had inactive focus in the Process Area. |
| SHIFT + TAB | Same as TAB, but in the opposite direction. |
| PAGE DOWN | Scrolls the page down so that later parts of the orchestration are shown. Selection and focus do not change. |
| PAGE UP | Same as the PAGE DOWN key, but in the opposite direction. Selection and focus do not change. |
| SHIFT + PAGE DOWN | Horizontally scrolls the entire design surface to the left by set increments. Selection and focus do not change. |
| SHIFT + PAGE UP | Same as SHIFT + PAGE DOWN except that the design surface scrolls to the right. Selection and focus do not change. |
| ENTER | Performs the default action for the selection, which usually means shifting focus to the Properties grid. |
| SPACE | Selects the shape that currently has the focus. There is no effect if the focus is on a shape connector. |
| CTRL + SHIFT + F1 | Toggles between expansion and collapse of the Smart Tag of a selected shape. UP and DOWN ARROW can then be used to move through the items of a Smart Tag. When expanded, the Enter or Space keys execute the related action of a Smart Tag item (as well as collapsing the Smart Tag). |
| DELETE | Deletes the current selection. |
| CTRL + MWHEEL UP | Displays a zoomed out view of the design surface. |
| CTRL + MWHEEL DOWN | Displays a zoomed in view of the design surface. |
