-Panning and Zooming the editors:
-================================
-There are different ways to pan and zoom:
-The default shortcut keys H and L pan the Pianoroll, Drum Editor, and Wave Editor
- right and left.
-Shift + Mouse Wheel pans the Arranger, Pianoroll, Drum Editor, and Wave Editor.
-The Pan tool (hand) lets you pan just by dragging the canvases. Hold Shift to
- constrict movement vertically. Hold Ctrl to constrict movement horizontally.
-And the horizontal scroll bars obviously pan all windows as well.
-
-The default shortcut keys Ctrl + PageUp and Ctrl + PageDown zoom the Arranger,
- Pianoroll, Drum Editor, and Wave Editor about the mouse cursor position.
-Ctrl + Mouse Wheel also zooms these editors, about the mouse cursor position.
-The Zoom tool (magnifier) lets you zoom just by dragging the canvases.
-And the horizontal magnification scroll bars obviously zoom as well, but they
- do not zoom about any cursor, they zoom from the left edge.
-
-By default, the Pan and Zoom tools have continuous, borderless motion, using a
- special coding technique. This is great for track-ball mice for example, because
- it lets you keep rolling and rolling without border limits!
-An alternate, more standard method is available by un-checking "Borderless zoom/pan"
- in Global Settings -> GUI Behaviour. This method does present border limitations
- on how far you can move before you must reposition the mouse.
