<br />** Make sure you let up on the mouse before letting up on Ctrl
<br />*** Meaning you can only drag in X or Y direction, not both, for each click-move-unclick
<br />**** You need to activate Rotation first (toolbar or keyboard R)
<p>You can <em>constrain</em> objects when re-sizing them with Ctrl+drag. <em>Constraining</em> keeps the aspect ratio the same as the original shape.</p>

*** Amount of movement is one unit, but for picas, movements are one point
Formerly, if you also held Ctrl, amount of enlarging/shrinking was larger, but currently this only moves the frame.
<h3>Resizing and Moving Images in Edit Contents Mode</h3>
<ul>
<li>Holding down Alt</li>
<ul>
<li>Right-arrow or Down-arrow enlarge image (Scaling goes up, X-Pos and Y-Pos are unchanged)</li>
<li>Left-arrow or Up-arrow shrink image</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<li>Holding down no modifier, or Shift, or Ctrl, or Shift+Ctrl<br />(Image moves, not frame)</li>
<ul>
<li>Right-arrow moves image to right (increases X-Pos)</li>
<li>Left-arrow moves image to left (decreases X-Pos)</li>
<li>Up-arrow moves image up (decreases Y-Pos)</li>
<li>Down-arrow moves image down (increases Y-Pos)</li>
<li>The relative amounts of movement:
<br />Shift > Ctrl = no key > Shift+Ctrl</li>
</ul></ul>
<br />The amount of movement is <b>numerically independent of units but dependent on scaling of the image</b>, and therefore is greatest with a unit of inches.
<table cellpadding="5" align="center">
<tr><td></td> <td align="center"> Shift</td> <td align="center"> Ctrl</td> <td align="center">Shift+Ctrl</td></tr>
<tr><td>Movement:</td> <td align="center">0.1 &times; Scaling</td> <td align="center">0.01 &times; Scaling </td> <td align="center">0.001 &times Scaling</td></tr>
<tr><td><i>Example</i></td></tr>
<tr><td>48.1% Scale:</td> <td align="center">4.81 units</td> <td align="center">0.481 units</td> <td align="center">0.0481 units</td></tr>
</table>
<p>Clearly, with units of inches, one would need to be careful. Furthermore, note that if your X-Scale is different from Y-Scale, the movement will be different in each direction, again according to this calculation.</p>
<h3>Selection/Navigation Keys</h3>
<p>Holding Shift while Left clicking adds objects to current selection, for multiple selection.</p>
<p>Shift+Right/Left Arrow selects Characters</p>
<p>Ctrl+Shift+Right/Left Arrow selects Words</p>
<p>Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down selects to beginning/end of paragraph</p>
<p>Shift+Home selects Text back to the beginning of the line</p>
<p>Shift+End selects Text to the end of the line</p>
<p>Ctrl+Right/Left Arrow moves to the next/previous Word</p>
<p>Ctrl+Up/Down Arrow moves to the beginning/end of current paragraph or the previous/next paragraph</p>
<p>PgUp/PgDn moves to beginning/end of current frame.</p>
<p>Ctrl+Alt+Click selects a single Object out of a Groups</p>
