Mouse Operations
Below is basic information about how to use the three-, two-, and one-button mouse (or trackpad) on Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms to perform basic interaction operations in Slicer:
Cross ReferenceHolding down the Shift-Key while moving the mouse in any Slice Viewer will cause other Slice Viewers to scroll to the same position. This feature can be combined with cross-hairs. CrosshairsCrosshairs are available for precise cross-correlation between Sliceviewers. Their appearance can be changed. In Navigation mode a box at the center of the crosshair allows to center the other Sliceviewers to that location by clicking and dragging the box. Window & LevelLeft-clicking and dragging the mouse in any Slice viewer is a quick way to adjust Window and Level.

Selecting & Manipulating
Mousing over any "pickable" object in any of Slicer's viewers will cause the cursor to change from a "pointer" into a "picking hand". When the cursor shows a picking hand, left-clicking and dragging the mouse will pick and manipulate the object. Releasing the mouse button will de-select the object.
Mouse Modes
Slicer has two mouse modes: Transform, and Place. The icons in the mouse mode toolbar at the top of the main GUI allow to switch between these mouse modes and to modulate their behavior.

Keyboard Accelerators
- On Mac OS X use the Command key () instead of the Control (Ctrl) key
- fn-Delete is used for Forward Delete on built-in keyboards of portable Macs
General
Key | Effect |
---|---|
Ctrl+O | Load a new scene (clears existing scene) |
Ctrl+A | Import a scene (does not clear existing scene) Brings up Add Data instead |
Ctrl+S | Save a scene |
Ctrl+W | Close a scene |
Ctrl+Z | Undo the history of undoable commands, from last to first. |
Ctrl+Y | Redo the history of undoable commands, from last to first. |
Ctrl+H | Set current module to "home" module for easy access. |
Space | Toggles the display of Slicer's Edit Box. |
Ctrl+P | Display the Python console Displays the QT-real console |
Ctrl+L | Create a new fiducial list. |
Ctrl+I | Toggle between "Persistent Place" and "Transform View" interaction modes. |
Ctrl+M | Create a new Ruler measurement between the last two placed fiducials. |
Ctrl+0 | Display error log. |
Ctrl+1 | Interface documentation. |
Ctrl+2 | Display the Application Settings Interface for customizing Slicer. |
Ctrl+3 | Python Interactor. |
Ctrl+4 | Extension Manager. |
Ctrl+5 | Toggle Module Panel visible/invisible. |
3D Viewer
Key | Effect |
---|---|
r | Fits the cameras field of view to show all that is visible in the viewer |
w | Show triangulated surface models as wireframe. |
s | Show triangulated surface models as shaded surfaces. |
Slice Viewer
Key | Effect |
---|---|
v | Toggles the slice plane visibility in the main 3D Viewer |
r | Fits the slice view to the volume extents in the active Slice Viewer, or in all viewers if they are linked (the first non-none volume will be used in order of Background, Foreground and Label layers) |
b or f | Decrease or increase visible slice in the active Slice Viewer (left or down) by one unit of background pixel spacing |
` (back-tick) | Navigate to next fiducial in the active Slice Viewer, or in all viewers if they are linked (back-tick is the left single-quote on the key with the tilde (~) character in the upper left side of the keyboard) |
Ctrl+` (back-tick) | Navigate to next fiducial in all Slice Viewers, independent of their linked state |
Shift+` (back-tick) | Navigate to the previous fiducial in the active Slice Viewer, or in all viewers if they are linked |
Ctrl+Shift+` (back-tick) | Navigate to the previous fiducial in all Slice Viewers, independent of their linked state |
p | Place a new fiducial in the active Slice Viewer(adds to the current fiducial list, or creates a list if there are none) |
Backspace | When the mouse is hovering over a fiducial in the Slice Viewer (turning it yellow), delete that fiducial |
(forward)Delete | When the mouse is hovering over a fiducial in the Slice Viewer (turning it yellow), delete that fiducial |
Transfer Functions
- This is work in progress
- select a group of control points
- move a group of control points horizontally
- move a group of control points vertically
Proposed functionality
- Key modifier + mouse click and vertical drag: change Bg/Fg opacity, change Lb opacity (?) (proposed at SLC 2012 meeting)
- Key modifier + volume selector in 2D Slicer viewers: modify linking behavior: if the viewers are linked, do not link volume selector (Andrey discussed with Jim, Jim supports this idea and will look if this functionality is supported by Qt)

Keyboard Shortcuts—Windows
Note: Single letter keys are shown capitalized, but you do not have to hold Shift unless it's specified. You also don't have to type the plus sign; plus sign just means push the keys on either side of it at the same time.
- Commonly Used OS-Level Shortcuts
- . Alt + Tab (toggle between programs)
- . Windows button + M (show desktop, i.e., minimize all windows)
- . Windows button + Tab (show all active windows in task bar)
- . PrtScn (save screen capture to clipboard; "paste" the image into an image-editing program to make it into a file)
- . Windows button (opens applications menu)
- Browser Shortcuts
- . Ctrl + T (open a new tab)
- . Ctrl + Shift + t (reopens the tab you last closed; works multiple times)
- . F5 (reload page)
- . Backspace (go to previous page; works multiple times)
- . Ctrl + Tab (cycle between tabs)
- Commonly Used Shortcuts in Most Applications
- . Ctrl+ Z (undo last operation)
- . Ctrl + Y (redo last operation)
- . Crtl + O (open file)
- . Crtl + S (save)
- . Ctrl + W (close active window or file)
- . Crtl + Q (quit application)
