3 Navigating the Editor window is obviously a very frequent operation. Ardour sticks
4 with a lot of the usual conventions in this regard, to allow for a quick learning.
5 As those operations are so common, it is worth taking the time to learn most of
6 the keyboard and mouse shortcuts in order for these to become fast and natural.
9 The keyboard shortcuts can, as always, be edited, so the defaults are shown here.
15 Scrolling can be done on-canvas, or with the <a href="@@summary">Summary</a>.
22 <tr><th>Action</th><th>Mouse</th><th>Keyboard</th></tr>
25 <tr><th>Scrolling up</th><td><kbd class="mouse">⇑</kbd></td><td><kbd>↑</kbd></td></tr>
26 <tr><th>Scrolling down</th><td><kbd class="mouse">⇓</kbd></td><td><kbd>↓</kbd></td></tr>
27 <tr><th>Scrolling up one page</th><td></td><td><kbd>⇞</kbd></td></tr>
28 <tr><th>Scrolling down one page</th><td></td><td><kbd>⇟</kbd></td></tr>
29 <tr><th>Scrolling left</th><td><kbd class="mod3 mouse">⇑</kbd></td><td></td></tr>
30 <tr><th>Scrolling right</th><td><kbd class="mod3 mouse">⇓</kbd></td><td></td></tr>
35 Moving the playhead outside the view may scroll the screen accordingly, so using
36 <kbd class="mod2">←</kbd> or <kbd class="mod2">→</kbd>, while not
37 <em>scrolling</em> per se, will result in scrolling if <kbd class="option">Transport > Follow playhead</kbd>
38 is checked. This is also true with the <a href="@@mini-timeline">
39 Navigation Timeline</a>, and anything that moves the Playhead.
42 <h3>In the Summary</h3>
45 Clicking and dragging in the Summary will scroll the view left and right. If the
46 screen view is clicked (the white rectangle) and dragged, the view can also be scrolled
50 Additionnaly, on the left of the Summary, the two <kbd class="menu"><</kbd> and
51 <kbd class="menu">></kbd> arrows buttons allow to scroll one screen either left
52 or right, while at the right of the Summary, the two <kbd class="menu">∧</kbd> and
53 <kbd class="menu">∨</kbd> arrows buttons allow to scroll one screen either up
60 Zooming (on time) can be done on-canvas (which will always be centered around the mouse cursor),
61 with the Summary, or with the <a href="@@zoom-controls">Zoom Controls</a>.
67 <tr><th>Zooming in</th><td><kbd class="mod1 mouse">⇑</kbd></td></tr>
68 <tr><th>Zooming out</th><td><kbd class="mod1 mouse">⇓</kbd></td></tr>
71 <h3>In the Summary</h3>
74 Resizing the screen view in the Summary (the white rectangle) changes the zoom
78 <h3>With the Zoom Controls</h3>
81 With the Zoom Focus set, the <kbd>−</kbd> and <kbd>+</kbd> buttons
82 will zoom out or in around this focus. The <kbd>[ ]</kbd> button zooms to the
83 whole session as defined by the start and end markers.
86 Theses controls are bound to the keyboard <kbd>−</kbd> and <kbd>=</kbd>
87 respectively by default.
90 <h2>Height of the tracks</h2>
93 Changing the height of the tracks results in more or less tracks on screen. This
94 can be done on canvas, with the Summary or with the Zoom Controls.
100 Using <kbd class="mod2 mouse">⇓</kbd> or <kbd class="mod2 mouse">⇑</kbd>
101 while hovering over a track reduces or enhances its height, i.e. zooms on the
102 hovered track, regardless of the selection.
105 The <kbd>F</kbd> key resizes the tracks so that only the selected one(s) are
106 displayed. If some unselected tracks are inbetween those selected tracks, their
107 <a href="@@the-tracks-and-busses-list">visibility</a> will be toggled off.
111 <h3>In the Summary</h3>
114 Resizing the screen view in the Summary (the white rectangle) changes the number
115 of tracks displayed (hence their heights) accordingly. It behaves more like a zoom
116 as the relative height of the tracks are kept.
119 <h3>With the Zoom Controls</h3>
122 The three rightmost buttons of the Zoom Control bar, while not zoom buttons,
123 act upon the height of the tracks:
126 <li>The first selector directly selects how many tracks are currently on screen.</li>
127 <li>The second one reduces the height of the selected track(s). If none are
128 selected, all the tracks are affected, while maintaining (as long as it is
129 possible) their relative heights.</li>
130 <li>The third one enlarges the tracks, and is the counterpart of the previous
