Keyboard and mouse functions

The mouse can be used to carry out the normal program operat-
ing functions such as the selection of menu items and fields. It
can additionally be used for magnifying a section of a chroma-
togram (zooming). To zoom a portion of the plot it is necessary
to place the mouse cursor to the upper left corner of the square
to zoom, press the left mouse button and drag the cursor to the
lower right corner of the rectangle. After releasing of the left
mouse button the selected region will be zoomed full-screen. If
the cursor is active in the peak editor mode then it can be moved
by pressing down the right-hand mouse key.
The keyboard can also be used to scale a chromatogram in the
window, as described below.
