Image Window Keystroke Commands


In addition to shortcuts using keyboard modifiers (Ctrl, Alt, Shift) like Ctrl+O and Ctrl+S, the Image Window provides numerous single keystroke commands for creating plots, making measurements, and other tasks. Most of these commands work with the Image Cursor (not the arrow window pointer) and are not case sensitive. An image is active for keystroke input when it is top-most and has the keyboard focus.

The single keystroke commands in the following tables plus the Image Window shortcuts are described under Image Keys Pane.

Keystroke Commands for the Image Window
