Helpul SoM controls

#1
These are some SoM controls which might be helpful. ‎  I'm not sure if they're listed elsewhere so I thought I start a collection.
If anyone knows other less obvious controls, please post and I'll add them.

On the map assembly grid:
Shift + LMB = select an area of pieces
+/- ‎  = raise/lower selected Piece's elevation
Ctrl + LMB (Twice) on a placed Map Piece ‎  = Go to that Piece on the Piece list and copy its elevation when placing other Pieces
Ctrl + Left/Right Arrow = jump to left/right side of map window
Page Up/Down ‎  = ‎  Jump to top bottom of map window

On any 3D preview window:
LMB = Rotate model
RMB = Move model sideways
LMB+RMB = Zoom in /out

In Parameter Editor:
With "Registry List" slot selected, press 0, 1, 2 etc = jump to item #000, #100, #200 etc (Pressing again goes forward 1 item)

In the PrtsEdit tool:
CTRL + (letter) when selecting piece data ‎  = jump to files starting with that letter. Doesn't work for "H".

On various text lists such as Item/Object dropdowns and Event command lists, you can push a letter key on the keyboard to jump to the items that start with that letter. For example, you can press "w" in the item dropdown to jump to "weapon" or "b" to go to "Begin Screen Effect" in the event command list. Pushing the same letter again will cycle through entries that start with that letter.
