Studio Object Manipulation

• (When an asset is selected on the stage) Ctrl + Arrows => Nudge Selected Asset In the Direction of Arrow
• Shift + Drag => When dragging a bounding box corner (transform handle), Ctrl+Shift forces an object to retain its aspect ratio during the resize transformation.
• Ctrl + Drag => Pop-o-matic. Moves CurrentTime? forward two frames and creates a new keyframe upon MouseUp?.
• Alt + Drag => If an object is ctrl + dragged after the seek bar has been moved, the object will tween to the newly created keyframe upon MouseUp?.

** Implementation of underlying functionality slated for future releases.

Moving Around the Application

From anywhere in the Main Application

Tab

• Tab to move focus to the next location in the Tab Order
• Shift + Tab to move focus backwards to the previous location in the Tab Order
• When moving to a section containing multiple fields or elements, focus falls to top left field or element in that section.
• Tab Order
  • Network List
  • Find Field
  • Asset List
  • Answering Machine
  • Outbox
  • Studio
  • Browser
    • Within the Browser, Tab should move focus from the top left to the bottom right, as in any other browser.
  • Conversation Tabs
  • IM Input
  • Conversation History

• In GRID Separation Builds, the Tab Order should be as follows:
  • Media Manager - Find Field
  • Media Manager - Asset List
  • Studio
  • Browser
    • Within the Browser, Tab should move focus from the top left to the bottom right, as in any other browser. Once focus reaches bottom right, focus moves to the next module, in this case, the Find Field. Conversely, when focus is at the upper left of the browser and the user presses Shift-Tab, focus should pass to Studio.
