Using Gestures

Modifier Keys

Many gestures have additional functionality when used in combination with a key on the
keyboard. In the following tables, if a gesture has an entry in the Modifier keys column,
it has additional functionality that is accessed by using a shortcut key. For example, if you
have the Control key set as the gesture trigger, and you draw the play forward gesture,
the project plays forward from the current time. If you press Control-Shift and draw the
play forward gesture, the project plays from the start of the project.

The Motion Gestures

The following tables describe the available Motion gestures and their modifier keys, where
