Keyboard activation of Zoom Mode and Select Mode - scribbly - 10.03.2012

I really love the two "new" modes to Zoom and Select. I use them all the time.

I'd like to have the ability to enable them using keyboard modifier + Mouse for on-the-fly or ad hoc use: for example --

Current Mode is Scroll:
  • Shift+Click & Drag: enable On-The-Fly Select Mode
  • Control + Click & Drag: enable On-The-Fly Zoom Mode

Release keyboard - Return to Scroll Mode

Hi,

keyboard activation is possible by using 'z' and 's' for Zoom and Select, respectively.
  • start RouteConverter
  • click somwhere in the map to ensure that the map has the 'focus'
  • press 'z' and keep it pressed -> the screen gets darker
  • locate the mouse curser at one corner of a rectangle
  • press the left mouse button, keep it pressed and move the mouse
  • a white rectangle appears while moving -> this is the active area
  • the zoom operation is performed if either key 'z' or mouse buttom are released
Same with the 's' key. This will activate all points within the marked area.
