Build/Mapster32 Keyboard Commands
3D Mode: Mouse
The purpose of mouse in 3D mode is pointing at some objects in a map and looking around(F3 - mouselook).
Mouse pointer always points(see info about it at the bottom of the screen) at one of these object:
1. wall
2. ceiling of sector
3. floor of sector
4. sprite
5. masked wall (non-transparent or semi-transparent wall between sectors)
It's important to understand this concept:
Some commands work differently depending on the current object(the object the mouse points at).
Some commands manipulate only with current object, and some commands manipulate with sprites/sectors selected(hereinafter referred to as "selected") in 2D mode, and some commands work globally.
Mouse buttons:
LEFT lock the current object. The current object won't be changing as long as the button pressed.
LEFT+MIDDLE toggle mouse look
WHEEL change shade/visibility
LEFT+WHEEL change tile
RIGHT+WHEEL move object up/down
Additionally, there is now UnrealEd-style mouse navigation in 3D mode (toggle it with F5), with the following bindings:
RIGHT mouselook
LEFT x: turning, y: move forward/back
LEFT+RIGHT x: strafe left/right, y: move up/down
MIDDLE y: move in viewing direction
The console variable 'pk_uedaccel' changes the speed of navigation exponentially (valid values are 0-5).
LEFT+ALT move object up/down
LEFT+SHIFT pan ceiling/floor/wall
LEFT+SHIFT move sprite in horizontal plane
LEFT+CTRL scale wall texture or size of sprite
LEFT+CTRL Change slope of sector

2D Mode: Mouse
The purpose of mouse in 2D mode is pointing, selecting, moving object in a map.
Every time mouse is pointing at one of these:
1. Nothing
2. Sector
3. Sector and wall
4. Sector and sprite
5. Wall (wall without sector - map is corrupt)
6. Sprite (sprite without sector - map is corrupt)
Some commands work differently depending on the current object(the object the mouse points at).
To solve ambiguous between sector and wall/sprite, one usually must press ALT to work with wall/sprite instead of sectors.

Mapster32 keys as tables
Below are the Mapster32 keys as three sortable tables. They are sorted such that the more 'basic' keys
are at the top.
The column headers have the following meaning:
key/keys: self-explanatory. Where a key starts with a '+' on a line of its own, it means
that it should be pressed simultaneously with the first one in the same table row.
typ: type of command: i=informational, e=editing, n=navigation,
d=display, m=miscellany.
se,sp,w: in case of an editing command, whether it
potentially acts on sectors, sprites, or walls.
spw: same as above in a different representation
adv: whether the command is 'advanced'. This is set somewhat arbitrarily.
new: whether the functionality of the command is new to Mapster32. x means that it has been enhanced.
N: a running number. To restore the original order, sort by it.
