Advanced editing short-cuts

Users can perform advanced editing operation short-cuts such as copy ctrl+c, paste ctrl+v, duplicate ctrl+d, delete delete and undo ctrl+z in multiple steps - either using the standard ctrl+z key command or with help of the version history. These editing functions make it easier to manage and edit complex network structures.

Users don't need to explicitly save the latest changes. The system saves it automatically. There is therefore no shortcut for saving changes.

Scale Netzgrafik

When you press Ctrl and use the mouse wheel, the netzgrafik gets scaled. This feature can be used when the nodes are spatially too close together.

When you have selected multiple nodes with right mouse button pressed and move, then only the multi-selected nodes get scaled around their center of mass.
