Right click functions

Right click on any image groups/collections in the Event Window, to create an instant slideshow of the images.
Right click on Template Collections in the Navigation Panel of the Event Window to open templates in a separate window.
Right click on any image in the Event Window for a list of options.
Right click on the layout in the Album Design Window to save the current layout in a Template Collection or to add/edit the layout's notes.
Right click on any aperture in the Album Design Window to add or edit effects and notes.
Right click on any item in the Project Browser to duplicate it.
Hint: for one-button Mac mousers: CTRL-click is the equivalent.
Shift key functions
Hold Shift while using the arrow keys to position apertures, to 'nudge' the apertures in bigger increments.
Hold Shift while dropping an image from the Event Window over an existing aperture, to add it as a separate aperture (rather than replacing the existing image).
Hold Shift while dragging an aperture on a layout to restrict its movement horizontally or vertically.
Hold Shift while dropping a template from the Event Window, to drop it as group apertures (this keeps the size and distance between apertures the same as in the template).
Hold Shift while resizing an aperture to maintain its aspect ratio.
Hold Shift while rotating an aperture, to rotate it in bigger increments.
Alt/option key functions
Hold Alt when an aperture is selected and use your mouse wheel to adjust the crop.
Hold Alt while hovering your mouse over an aperture to display the Aperture Details.
Hold Alt while dropping an image from the Event Window onto a layout, to automatically drop the aperture as the same size as was last used.
