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
Specific to Scribus
- When in Text edit mode : 1) DOUCLE CLICK on a letter part of a word will select the whole word. 2) CTRL+DOUBLE CLICK will select the whole paragraph
- 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)

TODO
Good momentum for this with the latest commits for pg-up/down button (http://scribus.net/websvn/revision.php?repname=Scribus&path=%2F&isdir=1&rev=19178) and adding standard OS X shortcut keys (http://scribus.net/websvn/revision.php?repname=Scribus&path=%2F&isdir=1&rev=19180)
