Keyboard shortcuts

Drawing and map controls
Use Enter to finish a shape. Undo removes the last drawing change. Hold Shift for the tool’s angle constraints.
Drag the map to pan, or hold Shift while dragging to orbit. During imagery alignment, arrow keys nudge the alignment and Shift increases the step.
Menus show shortcuts for the actions available to the current selection.
