Change mouse, keyboard and touch preferences

You can assign OptosAdvance tools (such as zoom and scroll) to mouse buttons, keyboard shortcuts and touch gestures. This allows you to quickly access tools you use frequently.

Customizing mouse, keyboard, and touch actions involves two steps:

1. Create templates that define the tools assigned to mouse buttons, keyboard shortcuts and touch gestures.
2. Select the mouse, keyboard and touch templates you want to use when working in OptosAdvance.
