Shortcuts and gestures

Every keyboard shortcut and touch gesture, in one place: keying the radio, moving between positions on the scene, working elements in the builder, and driving the after-action replay. Everything here works on a phone or tablet too, with one exception noted at the bottom.

In a drill#

Input	Effect
Hold Space	Transmit on the radio. Works whenever you are not typing in a field.
Hold the radio button	Same, for touch screens.
Click a view tab	Walk to that position.

Releasing the spacebar ends the transmission. If a button happens to have keyboard focus, pressing space drops that focus first so it keys the radio instead of pressing the button.

In the scenario builder#

Input	Effect
Click a tool, then click the scene	Place an element.
Drag an element	Move it.
Scroll over an element	Resize it.
⌫ or Delete	Remove the selected element.
Click the scenario name	Rename the scenario.

On an aerial view marked as the tactical map, clicking sets the quadrant center or the Side A mark depending on which mode is selected.

In the after-action review#

Input	Effect
Drag the timeline	Jump to that moment.
Click a marker	Jump to a few seconds before that event.
Speed selector	1×, 2×, 4×, 8×, audio included.
↩ Follow IC	Lock the view to where the incident commander was standing.
Search box	Filter the feed and radio transcripts together.

Touch#

Everything works on phones and tablets. Tap replaces click, and press-and-hold on the radio button replaces the spacebar. Resizing elements in the builder needs a mouse or trackpad with a scroll gesture, so scenario building is easier on a laptop than a phone.
