Navigation with Mouse and Keyboard
Bluejay is riddled with unique and sophisticated navigation methods.
Below is a short description of how to efficiently navigate in Bluejay.
Mouse Navigation Features
The mouse has additional features that can be used for navigation around
the document in the main window.
- SHIFT key + LEFT mouse button drags the document around.
- SHIFT key + RIGHT mouse button drag zooms the document
in or out.
- CTRL key + LEFT mouse button drag selects the viewing
area for the document, and then zooms into that area.
- CTRL key + RIGHT mouse button drag rotates the document.
- SHIFT key + one of ARROW keys (up, down, left, right)
shifts the document in that direction at an increased speed.
- Just the ARROW keys (up, down, left, right) also shifts
the document in that direction.
Other Keyboard Navigation Tools
- CTRL key + i key zooms in the document 2x.
- CTRL key + o key zooms out 2x.
- CTRL key + t key resets the document to it's original state.
BioMOBY and Hyperlink Navigation
Any visual piece of data in a Bluejay view can be hyperlinked to other
information on the Web. When an on-screen shape is clicked with the
left mouse button, a popup list of linking options is displayed if available.
This list is derived from explicit XML links in the document, and from automatically
determined links via the MOBY Web Services protocol. Clicking a link
will replace the current window content with the linked data. In the
case of MOBY services, an error message will appear on the status bar if
the request for remote analysis failed or returned an empty response.
