The Planner: Every Key and Gesture
The projection planner at qualia-forge.com · drag to explore, type to align, R to rotate.
In the venue
| Drag | Orbits the camera. With Move on and the object grabbed: moves it in the floor plane (surface: in the wall plane). |
| Shift + drag | Moves the grabbed object vertically; decoupled surface: walks it in depth. |
| Right-drag / Alt + drag | Rotates the projector body: yaw with x, pitch with y. |
| XYZ arrowheads | Drag one: the move locks to that axis. |
| Rotation rings | Drag along a ring: pitch (red), yaw (green), roll (blue), about 0.2° per pixel. |
| R | Toggles the rotation rings on the Move target: the projector or the surface itself. |
| Click the walker | Shadow study on: opens the step pad; arrows walk the figure in quarter-meter steps. |
| Pin handles | Hand pin on: drag a corner of the picture; leaving the raw beam is refused. |
| View cube | Click a face, edge or corner: the camera glides to that view. |
| Coordinates + Enter | Sets exact X, Y, Z, yaw, pitch, roll. |
| Ctrl Z / Y | Undo and redo the whole plan, forty steps, camera untouched. Cmd on a Mac. |

| Esc | Closes the desk. |
| Click a pin | Selects it; type its offsets below. |

| Draw a stroke | Left to right; on release it snaps to true lines and arcs. Faithful / Smoother / Simplest set the fit. |
| Drag a point / diamond | Stretches a section / bends it through your cursor. |
| Shift + drag a point | Snaps its leg to 45° steps: square corners fall into the hand. |
| Double-click the line | Adds a point right there. |
| Right-click a point | Removes it; its neighbors join. |
| Shift + click points | Gathers several; a drag moves them together. |
| Right-drag / Shift + right-drag | Box select / lasso select. |
| Arrow keys | Nudge the selection; Shift takes bigger steps. |
| Delete | Removes the selected points. |
| Mouse wheel | Zooms the board about the cursor; Fit the view brings the drawing back. |
