Note: this page is work in progress.
Application Hot-keys (keyboard accelerators)
- Alt-Left + mouse button should always be available as a substitute for the middle mouse button to support two button mice. On Mac, you can also use the command key + mouse click to get middle mouse events.
- Control-Left + mouse button should always be available as a substitute for the right mouse button to support one button mice (on Mac).
Warning: Developers: Please note the following reserved key combinations!
General
Key(s) | Action bound to key(s) |
---|---|
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+W | Close a scene |
Ctrl+H | Set the current module to be the "home" module -- the module that's exposed when Slicer starts up. |
Ctrl+Z | Undo the last undoable action |
Ctrl+Y | Redo the last lightpinkoable action |
Space-key | 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. |
Slice Viewer Hot-keys (keyboard accelerators)
Key(s) | Action bound to key(s) |
---|---|
` (back-tick key) | 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 key) | Navigate to next fiducial in all Slice Viewers, independent of their linked state |
Shift+` (back-tick key) | Navigate to the previous fiducial in the active Slice Viewer, or in all viewers if they are linked |
Ctrl+Shift+` (back-tick key) | Navigate to the previous fiducial in all Slice Viewers, independent of their linked state |
p-key | Place a new fiducial in the active Slice Viewer(adds to the current fiducial list, or creates a list if there are none) |
o-key | Turn on the Slice Plane reformat widget in the active Slice Viewer |
v-key | Toggles the slice plane visibility in the main 3D Viewer |
r-key | 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-key | Decrement slice in the active Slice Viewer (left or down) by one unit of background pixel spacing |
f-key | Increment slice in the active Slice Viewer (right or up) by one unit of backgroun dpixel spacing |
Backspace-key | When the mouse is hovering over a fiducial in the Slice Viewer (turning it yellow), delete that fiducial |
Delete-key | When the mouse is hovering over a fiducial in the Slice Viewer (turning it yellow), delete that fiducial |
Sliders and mouse
- Every click is 1 step, and 1 step is 1 slice (if there are multiple volumes (Labelmap/Back/Foreground, then its the smallest spacing of the 3 that is used).
- Middle click directly jumps to the mouse.
- Home/End keys go to the beginning/end.
