Keyboard and Mouse Conventions on Different Platforms

Shake can be used on the Mac OS X and Linux platforms. Functions or commands that
are platform-specific have been documented whenever possible. This section
summarizes the main differences.

Keyboard: Hot keys or keyboard commands that vary between the Macintosh and
Linux platforms are documented when possible. In most cases, the Command and
Control keys are interchangeable. The Macintosh Delete key located below the F12
key is the equivalent of the Linux Backspace key; the Macintosh Delete key grouped
with the Help, Home, and End keys is the equivalent of the Linux Delete key.

Important:

Macintosh users should remember that the Delete key used in Shake is

not the key located below the F12 key but, rather, the one grouped with the Help,
Home, and End keys.

Mouse: Shake requires the use of a three-button mouse. A three-button mouse
provides quick access to shortcut menus and navigational shortcuts. Shake also
supports the middle scroll wheel of a three-button mouse.

Shake documentation refers to the three mouse buttons as follows:
