Controls & shortcuts
Everything you can press or click. Menu hotkeys are ignored while Ctrl is held, so editing shortcuts never open windows by accident.

| E / Q | Zoom in / out, toward the cursor |
| Wheel | Zoom toward the cursor |
| Right / Middle drag | Pan by dragging empty space |
| Screen edge | Edge-scroll while dragging a node or a wire |
WASD is ignored while Ctrl or Alt is held, so Ctrl+A/S/D don't move the camera.
