Since several viewing or drawing modes have been added for V6.4, and since stereo images may require full-screen viewing in which menus are not available, the keyboard shortcuts for modifying or animating the images have been revised and extended.
In the full-screen modes accessed with the Fullscreen button in the Dialog Bar - Left or the menu option, the left mouse button always performs the identification function, identifying either atoms or crystal faces, and the right button performs the rotation function. Clicking outside the crystal faces or structure (not on an atom) brings up a dialog giving most of the options, which can be selected with buttons. If the structure is in motion, clicking with either mouse button will stop it. Exit from Fullscreen mode either with this dialog, or with the Esc(ape) key.
The displacement function with the right mouse button which was available in earlier fullscreen viewing has been discontinued.
In the Direct3D fullscreen mode, the mouse buttons only cause rotation (click and drag), not crystal-face identification and no dialog is called up by clicking. When the crystal is in automatic rotation clicking anywhere will stop the motion. The same keyboard shortcuts are available, and exit from fullscreen is with the Esc(ape) key.
The shortcut key combinations:
SHIFT-X Rotate on the x axis (horizontal in screen). Stop rotation on x, y or z with a mouse click or SHIFT-Q, and change the speed with the SHIFT-F (faster) and SHIFT-G (slower) keys.
SHIFT-Y Rotate on the y axis (up in screen)
SHIFT-Z Rotate on the z axis (out of screen)
SHIFT-O This restores the original or standard orientation.
SHIFT-I This restores the initial orientation
SHIFT-P This decreases the perspective distance, increasing the 3-D effect.
SHIFT-[ This increases the perspective distance (the [ key is the one to the right of the P key on U.S. keyboards, but it may be elsewhere on other keyboards).
SHIFT-plus This will change the rescale factor upwards.This factor can be set in the Scaling dialog (Input2 menu SHAPE). The plus and minus keys are those in the regular alphanumeric part of the keyboard, not the number pad.
SHIFT-minus This will change the rescale factor downwards.
SHIFT-A Increase the stereo rotation angle between the two images, or increase the effective interocular distance. In the the Direct3D stereo mode the amount of rotation may be limited because the stereo relations are handled differently, in terms of interocular distance instead of rotation angle.
SHIFT-S Decrease the stereo rotation angle between the two images.
SHIFT-F Speed up motion. The SHIFT-F and SHIFT-G keys only apply when there is continuous rotation. They permanently affect the angular rotation increment in the Continuous Rotation dialog (Rotation menu).
SHIFT-G Slow down motion.
