Keyboard Shortcuts
MagicPlot keyboard shortcuts are almost the same in different operating systems (Windows, Mac OS, UNIX-like). The main difference is in modifier keys used: Ctrl on PC (Windows, UNIX-like) and Command on Mac. Some shortcuts were altered to avoid coincidences with system ones.
You can find these keyboard shortcuts in MagicPlot by selecting Help → Keyboard Shortcuts menu item.
