# Controls and Shortcuts

## Moving Around the Map

Drag to pan and scroll to zoom. Switch the basemap between **Streets** and **Satellite** in the **Layers** tab.

***

## Selecting Things

Click a pin, shape, or store to select it. The right panel switches to it, and a style toolbar replaces the drawing toolbar.

Shift-click shapes to build a selection of two or more. A combine toolbar appears with **Union**, **Intersect**, **Difference**, and **Delete**. Shift-clicking empty map keeps the selection; a plain click clears it. See [Shapes](/study/shapes.md).

## Keyboard Shortcuts

| Shortcut | Does                              |
| -------- | --------------------------------- |
| `D`      | Drop pin                          |
| `S`      | Search to drop pin                |
| `P`      | Draw polygon                      |
| `C`      | Draw circle                       |
| `X`      | Extract boundary                  |
| `A`      | Add annotation                    |
| `Enter`  | Finish the polygon you're drawing |
| `ESC`    | Cancel the active tool            |
| `⌘Z`     | Undo                              |
| `⌘⇧Z`    | Redo                              |

Shortcuts are ignored while your cursor is in a text field, so you can type freely in the chat or a rename box.

## Right-Click Menus

Right-click (or long-press on a touch screen) to act on whatever is under the cursor.

### Empty Map

* **Drop pin here**
* **Add annotation here**

### A Pin

* **Draw trade zone**
* **Create deal** — hidden once the pin already has a deal
* **Add comment**
* **Rename**
* **Delete** — the item names the pin it will remove

### A Shape

* **Edit shape** — reshape it by dragging its points. Missing on shapes an analysis produced, since those can't be reshaped
* **Add comment**
* **Rename**
* **Drop pin here** and **Add annotation here** — these act on the point you clicked, not the shape
* **Delete** — the item names the shape it will remove

### An Existing Store

* **Draw trade zone**
* **Update ID**

***

## Undo and Redo

**Undo** (shortcut `⌘Z`) and **Redo** (shortcut `⌘⇧Z`) step back and forth through your edits. The toolbar buttons grey out when there's nothing left either way.

Combining shapes and deleting a selection each count as one step, so a single undo puts the originals back.

***

## In a Read-Only Study

Viewing a study you can't edit, or one that's archived, hides the toolbar and disables the shortcuts and right-click menus. Panning, zooming, selecting, and reading stay available. See [Sharing and Exporting Studies](/study/sharing-and-exporting-studies.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.growthfactor.ai/study/controls-and-shortcuts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
