Using the Keyboard in Model Trees

[Crsr Up]/[Crsr Down]:

Moves the mouse pointer position and the selection of the node last selected to the next higher/lower node which is visible.

[Crsr Right]:

If the node last selected has a collapsed subtree, this is opened. If an expanded subtree exists, the mouse pointer position and selection move to the sub level's first node. Otherwise, nothing happens.

[Crsr Left]:

If the node last selected has an expanded subtree, this is collapsed. The mouse points to this node and it is selected. Otherwise, the mouse pointer position and selection move to the next highest (expandable) father node.

Cursor keys used in conjunction with the [Ctrl] key have the same affect except they do not change the selection.

Arrow keys with [Shift] key pressed:

All diagrams and tables included in the selection are opened in the respective editor.

[Shift]+[Enter] jumps to the default reference; if there are multiple default references, a selection dialog appears.

[Ctrl]+[Enter] jumps to the instance in a diagram; if multiple instances exist, a selection dialog appears.

[Ctrl]+[C]:

Sets the selected elements in the copy buffer.

[Ctrl]+[V]:

Pastes the copied elements as new child nodes of the selected node (does not work for multiple selection).

[Shift]+[Del]:

Deletes the selected elements or removes the selected references.
