# Controls and Shortcuts

## Moving Around the Map

Drag to pan and scroll to zoom. Switch the basemap between **Streets**, **Satellite**, and **Basic** 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 a pin                        |
| `S`      | Search an address                 |
| `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**
* **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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
