Quick switch to other mouse modes

"." (period key) temporarily switches to the object mode to allow
objects to be moved.
Using the "–" (minus key) temporarily switches to curve mode to allow
automation curve events to be moved and manipulated.
Curve mode
Right mouse button: Context menu
Left mouse button: Offers a range of functions. I.e.:
Volume and panorama rubber band
When you click on the track near an object, you can, by pulling the mouse to
the left or right, spread a rectangle by holding down the mouse key. This will
select all volume and panorama points contained in the selection box.
Volume and panorama gradients for the whole track
Using the panorama and volume curves, volume and stereo panorama
graduations can be graphically recorded. For this purpose sizing handles which
are moved are created on the curve.
A double click on the volume or panorama curve creates a new handle, and
another double click clears it. Selected handles may also be cleared by
selecting the option ”clear handles” in menu ”edit”. You may select a volume or
panorama handle by a single click. You will select further handles by holding
"Ctrl" while clicking.
When you click the track on the right beside an object, you can spread a
rectangle with the mouse held down. This selects all volume and panorama
points contained within (rubber band function). You may move selected volume
and panorama handles with the mouse. To move several handles, "Ctrl" must
be kept depressed.
Cut mode
Right mouse button: Context menu
Left mouse button: You can use the mouse cursor like a pair of scissors to
crop objects.
