GtkRadiant/Keyboard and Mouse Commands

Glossary Keyboard and Mouse Commands System Shaders In GtkRadiant, there are two different types of Keyboard and Mouse Commands, first, we have those normal keyboard shortcuts we find in every other application. Those are commands which can be executed through the menus or toolbar as well as using a key on the keyboard or the mouse. But in GtkRadiant, there are also quite a lot of things which only can be done with the mouse, so these are very important to learn. On this page, the mouse buttons are called MMB, LMB, and RMB where MMB is the middle mouse button (the mouse wheel button) and LMB and RMB are the left and right mouse buttons respectively. If a D is after the MMB, LMB, or RMB, this means the mouse it to be dragged, not just clicked. SCROLL means scrolling the scroll wheel. If using the MMB doesn't work, make sure you have activated 3 button mouse in the preferences. D means you should drag the mouse.
