Operation via the Mouse

Chromeleon supports all Windows-typical properties and capabilities of a two-button mouse.

The left mouse button allows you to select menus, commands, and icons. It also allows you to operate display and control elements and to modify windows (increase or reduce the window size, zoom, modify display and control elements, etc). Double-click the left mouse button (= left-click) to execute the selected function.

Hold down the SHIFT key and left-click to select several cells in a table. Left-click in the first cell, hold down the SHIFT key, and then select a new cell. All cells between these two cells are selected.

Hold down the CTRL key and left-click to select non-adjacent cells in a table. Left-click in the first cell, hold down the CTRL key, and then select a new cell. Hold down the CTRL key and repeat left-clicking until all required cells are selected.

Left-click an object and drag it to the desired position (Drag and Drop). This action allows you to move selected text or samples. To copy the corresponding object, hold down the CTRL key while performing the Drag and Drop operation.

The right mouse button (= right-click) allows you to open context-sensitive menus. Context-sensitive menus provide functions that are required or allowed in the current situation.
