Mouse and trackpad#

Mac, iPad	Windows, Linux	Action
`⇧click` or `⌘click`	`⇧click` or `Ctrlclick`	Add an item to the selection or remove it
`⌥`	`Alt`	Held while drawing or placing: no snapping; a symbol does not snap to the wall
`wheel`	`wheel`	Mouse wheel: zoom under the pointer
`⇧wheel`	`⇧wheel`	Pan the plan
`⌘wheel`	`Ctrlwheel`	Zoom (also on the trackpad)
`middle click`	`middle click`	Drag with the middle button: pan the plan

Good to know. D on its own selects the Door tool; with ⌘, it duplicates. The P, L and I tools place the given symbol directly; the other symbols are chosen in the Symbols picker.
