SMS Basic and Advanced Manual
When used along with the mouse, this allows the selection of multiple non-consecutive items. For example if you
wanted to select two fields from the Management Tree to map at the same time but there were 4 fields in the list
between them, you would move your cursor over the first field, click the left mouse button to highlight and select
it. Then press and hold the Ctrl key and repeat the previous step to select the other field. Now release the Ctrl
key and both fields will remain selected until your next mouse click.
Arrow Keys
Allow the user to move through selected lists instead of using the mouse to make each selection. This can be
used to quickly move up and down in the Management Tree if a selection has already been made in the tree with
the mouse. It also allows the opening/closing of a branch in the tree. When a map is active in the software the
arrow keys also serve as panning tools.
