Editing Techniques for Parts and Events
This section describes techniques for editing in the Project window. If not explicitly stated, all
descriptions apply to both events and parts, even though we use the term event for convenience.

NOTE
Some editing tools feature additional functions if you press modifier keys. You can
customize the default modifier keys in the Preferences dialog (Editing—Tool Modifiers
page).
●
By opening the Edit menu and selecting one of the functions.
●
By editing in the info line.
●
By using a key command.
