More Keyboard Shortcuts

Gareth just posted about the different keyboard shortcuts we use for navigation in the DSL diagramming surface. These are short cuts that can be used inĀ our Domain Model Designer and any of the designers that you create. It's a great list, especially for the moreĀ obscure shortcuts.

In addition to those, there are also a set of shortcuts for changing the zoom level on the diagrams. Just yesterday, Gokhan was asking me about them, so I figured that I would add these to the list:

Zoom In Control + Shift + '+' Control + MouseWheel forward Zooms in on the center of the Diagram View.
Zoom Out Control + Shift + '-' Control + MouseWheel backward Zooms out from the center of the Diagram View. It re-centers the diagram when you zoom out too far for the current diagram center.
Zoom Area Control + Shift + Draw a rectangle with the left mouse button down Zooms in centered on the area that you've selected. When you hold down the Control + Shift keys, you'll see that the cursor changes to a magnifying glass, which allows you to define the area to zoom into.
