The Shortcuts

Every editor needs shortcuts to increase productivity.

Key filtering - the ability of "interface element" to act as a different tool in case when Ctrl, Alt and Shift keys being hold during mouse click.

Usually Ctrl key will mean "Add", "Alt" key will mean "Exclude", "Shift" key will mean "Next object".

Secondary clipboard (new editor only)

Surprisingly, eric added this options so we can copy source from other's open source maps easier and faster.

Ctrl + N - copy selected objects to "Secondary N" clipboard. N - paste objects from "Secondary N" clipboard.

Which N is 0~9. In mathematical speaking, N0<=N<=9,NZ+{N | 0 <= N <= 9, N ∈Z+}
