Navigation & Camera Controls
Navigation Controls Buttons
The top toolbar above the navigation wheel allows you to change the navigation mode, and also to switch to fullscreen (most right button). The active navigation mode is highlighted in blue in the top toolbar, and also shown in the middle of the wheel.
The navigation can also be done through the navigation wheel. Arrows have the same behavior as pressing the arrow keys on the keyboard. The zooming can be done by clicking the + and - buttons, or drag the slider up and down.
