+<h2>Mouse Usage Hints</h2>
+
+<h3>View</h3>
+<p>Mouse usage in Scribus has some subtle, but once learned, very useful shortcuts with the mouse.</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Space Bar + Left Click &ndash; toggles panning mode for the mouse</li>
+<li>Click third button, or on two button mice (&ldquo;chord&rdquo; them by click left and right together), refreshes the view</li>
+<li>Ctrl &#062; Wheel &ndash; zooms the view in and out.</li>
+<li>Ctrl &#062; Right Button Drag &ndash; allows you to pan the document up or down and/or left to right depending on the zoom factor.</li>
+<li>Right Click &ndash; brings up the Context Menu for the document canvas as shown below.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<table width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><img src="images/cmcanvas.png" title="Context Menu for the document canvas" alt="Context Menu for the document canvas" /></td></tr></table><br />
+
+<h3>Items</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Shift + Left Click &ndash; dont clear the selection but add to it</li>
+<li>Alt + Left Click &ndash; allow selection of objects within groups</li>
+<li>Hence, Ctrl + Shift + Left Click extends the selection with the item below the currently selected one beneath the cursor</li>
+<li>Ctrl + Left Click cycles through all objects at the position from top to bottom, finally deselecting all and then starting with the top again</li>
+<li>Ctrl+ Alt + Left Click will include group members in the cycle</li>
+<li>Control + Left Click resize/move for lower objects. Release + drag resizes. Hold down Control + Drag moves.</li>
+<li>Left Click &#062; Drag resizes Frames</li>
+<li>Right Click &#062; Drag copies or moves Frames &ndash; a context menu will pop up asking your choice</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Text Frames</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Shift + Left Click &ndash; selects the text between cursor position and the click.</li>
+<li>Ctrl + Double Left Click &ndash; selects the current paragraph.</li>
+<li>Ctrl + Shift + Double Left Click &ndash; selects the current paragraph first, and subsequent clicks will add text between the selected paragraph and the click position to the selection.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>The Color Eye Dropper</h3>
+Select a:
+<ul><li>fill color with Left Click</li>
+<li>text color with Ctrl + Left Click</li>

+<li>Shift &#043; Wheel &ndash; increases/decreases units 1/10 at a time.</li>
+<li>Ctrl &#043; Shift &#043; Wheel &ndash; increases/decreases units 1/100 at a time.</li>
