Keyboard Shortcuts by Key

Powerful keyboard modifiers actions
Quite standard for Linux applications :


 * CTRL + MOUSEWHEEL UP or DOWN enables to quickly zoom in or out


 * CTRL + MOUSEDRAG on the canvas enables to move the current viewport

Specifics to Scribus :


 * In the style edition dialog, when selecting a font, a very long menu has to be scrolled through all installed fonts. CTRL + MOUSEWHEEL enables to scroll one whole screen down or up.


 * When in Image Editing mode (double click on an image frame first), SHIFT + MOUSEDRAG enables to rotate the image


 * Not a keyboard modifier but worth noting : the measure inputs in the Property Palette accept mathematical operations (Example : 132+48 for width, or 43+180 for rotation, or even (2*3)+1 for height)

User Notes / Questions
Looking at the Gnome HIG, wonder if you would consider Ctrl++ for Zoom in and Ctrl+- for Zoom out? Inkscape and Gimp just use + or - --Cbradney 10:05, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Went with Control +/- so you can still zoom while typing. --Cbradney 23:39, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wonder if you would consider for the Story Editor

Ctrl+Shift+U for 'Update Text Frame and Exit' ? (Ctrl+U is 'Update Text Frame')

I'm still to rewrite the menu system for Story Editor --Cbradney 23:39, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
