?—? Hold Ctrl+Alt while moving the mouse left and right, or up and down, drags and
zooms the Curve Window. You also can set a minimum and maximum value.
Alt-drag options are similar to their use in Layout??™s Perspective viewport.
Exploring Additional Commands in the Graph Editor
In addition to the commands you??™ll use most often as you animate your scenes, you
should know about the Graph Editor commands that can help you increase the speed of
your workflow. As you??™ve learned in other areas of LightWave, right-clicking in certain
areas gives you access to additional tools that enable more control. The same goes for the
Graph Editor.
Key Pop-Up Menus
You can access additional controls by rightclicking
in both the Curve Bin (Figure 6.44)
and the Curve Edit window (Figure 6.45).
(The right-click pop-up appears in the Curve
Edit window only if your mouse cursor is
positioned directly over a key.) All these controls
are available in one location as well: the
Keys drop-down list at the top of the Graph
Editor interface.
Selecting a specific channel and right-clicking
it in the Curve Bin gives you controls to perform
a number of tasks.
