2. Keyboard shortcuts to access navigation regardless of the active tool

Keyboard shortcuts for navigation provide access to many functions, minimizing the need to change tools.
This allows you to adjust the experience without the pointer leaving the view or the task. Some shortcuts are
only relevant in a 3D view and these are distinguished below.

Shortcut keys to enhance the Explore tool


One of the primary tools you can use when interacting with your view is the Explore tool . The following
keys are assigned to work specifically in conjunction with the Explore tool only. Press the key to perform the
action and release it when you're finished. Keyboard shortcuts such as P and N are press-and-release keys to
automatically adjust the view. This is different from rotating the camera and zooming, which are actions that
require you to hold the keys down while using the Explore tool together to update the view.
