General keyboard shortcuts

Key

Action

g

Zoom towards the position you are pointing at. The cursor need to point at graphics, otherwise no action. This shortcut should not be used in 2D-mode.

i

Toggle on/off the interactive crosshair widget for cursor positioning in 3D. Works inside the window frame.

j

Jump to a point in polydata-sets that are displayed. This will position the cursor at a point position. Useful e.g. while having the Distance calculation panel opened. Or while digitizing. Valid from Geocap 6.3.4.

o

Toggle on/off color code legend for the last color contouring display. See also shell command cco - Color code legend.

p

Position the cursor point. In 3d-mode this will result in a red marker at the cursor position. In 2d-mode, this is equal to just clicking with the left mouse button.

r

Rescale to all graphical elements. Note that r does not set the window.

s

Set graphics into surface/solid mode after having viewed graphics in wire mode by w.

v

Value. Will display a number (z-value) where the cursor is pointing. Note that you have to point at a displayed surface.

w

Set graphics to wire mode. Return to the default surface/solid mode by s. The equivalent shell command is wire - Wire mode

x

Set the focal point by pointing at a visual element. The graphics will afterwards rotate around this point.

y

Cursor point is set at the surface of the graphical element.

z

Zoom by drawing a rubber band with left button on the mouse.

+

Zoom in

-

Zoom out

2

Toggle graphics to 2D mode

3

Toggle graphics to 3D mode

3

Toggle stereo view on/off when stereo is activated

Shortcuts in digitizing mode

Key

Action

b

Toggle on/off the rubber band in 2D digitizing

d

Delete last digitized point.

f

Set a flag when digitizing. This means that one cell (line piece) is completed and the digitizing will start on a new cell.

h

Home, i.e. close current cell (line piece) by biting the "tail".

n

Nearest point. Grab whatever point is nearest to the cursor position. This is easiest to do in 2D-digitizing. In 3D digitizing this may be used in combination with p and the manipulation to set the cursor position.

u

End digitizing. This will terminate a digitizing session, and the result of the digitizing will be put into a workspace. For the digitizing started with shell commands, the workspace name is ^rcd.

Note

There are a few additional keyboard shortcuts, they are listed on the command panels when needed.
