Mouse and keys¶
Press ? in a plot to see this list there. Keys work while the plot has focus (after a click into it).
Tools¶
The toolbar's first three buttons choose what a drag does; plot.tool sets it from Python.

|---|---|---|---|
| Drag | move through time and lanes | zoom to the time range | select the events in a box |
| Shift + drag | zoom to a time range | the same | add what is in the box |
| Click | nothing | zoom in 2× | select the event |
| Shift / Ctrl / ⌘ + click | add or remove the event | — | add or remove the event |
| Alt + click | remove the event | zoom out 2× | remove the event |
| Alt + drag | — | — | remove what is in the box |
| Double-click | the whole timeline | — | — |
Select is offered while something can be selected (selection_mode is not "none") and a
notebook is running.
