USED CONTROLS
Here we will discuss the general properties of all application controls. As a most important rule you should note, that you can always use any question
mark button or F1 (or ctrl+F1 or ctrl+H) key with mouse cursor at a specified control to get detailed information about what it does and how to use
it.
Zoomer
Zoomer provides a simple way to zoom and move in an enlargeable view.
Plus (+) button zooms-in.
Minus (-) button zooms-out.
Slash (/) button zooms to default ratio, which typically means full zoom-out.
Piano
Piano provides easy way to mark a set of keys for some purpose.
Left mouse button marks or unmarks particular key.
Mouse-wheel or border buttons scroll the piano if it cannot fit.
Tab-set
Tab-set is typically used whereever there is too much to edit, but not enough space to fit. It can be also used to switch between possible alternatives.
Left mouse button selects a tab.
Ctrl + Left mouse button or Right mouse button displays the whole tab in a popup window. This comes handy when you want to have
multiple tabs visible at the same time.
Left and right arrows select neighboring tab.
Click on one of the buttons on the border to scroll in the control and show currently invisible tabs.
Graph editor
Graph editor will show and edit one or more graphs.
Zoomers below and on the right control zoom and position of the view.

double click. You can also use keyboard numbers 0 to 9 to quickly set zoom level.
Drag a rectangle using the left mouse button while holding Alt zooms into the selected rectangle if possible.
Drag using the left mouse button while holding Alt and Ctrl to scroll the view. This is not possible when zoomed all the way out.
