Paste [Ctrl + V] - Paste data from the clipboard into the table starting at the focus cell.

Note: When pasting data, press [Esc] to hide the edit control so it won’t interfere.

Note: Select one or more rows to open the control sets editor on a subset of controls. Otherwise, it will open on all controls shown in the table.

Zoom – Zoom to the elements referenced by the selected control(s). Click the dropdown to zoom to the If Condition, Then Action, or the Else Action element.

Note: Zoom will locate multiple elements if multiple rows are selected, or if the control reference a composite condition/action.

Note: Zoom only applies if the control (condition/action) references an element.

Note: The default behavior when zooming to a control is based on Then action element(s). Default zoom applies when clicking the zoom toolbar button directly, or when double-clicking a row in the row header area.

Tip: Click in the row header area (to set focus to a row) and hit [Enter] to zoom to that row.
