Cannot use up and down arrow on keyboard for hide-level change

Post by kleemax »

If I remember correctly, in older Vensim Vesions one could use the up and down arrow keys on the computers keyboard when doing a presentation in which elements are to be successively un-hidden. This does not work any more, neither in Move-tool mode nor in lock sketch mode. Is there another way to use the computer's keyboard to change the show level? Other keyobord-shortcuts I mean? Using the small arrows in the bottom toolbar does not work well in a presentation, because then the mouse can often not be used and depending on resolution of the screen or projector even if a mouse can be used, these arrows can be hard to click.

Try option (Mac) or ALT (Win) and up/down, that should do it.

Thanks a lot, very helpful!
You may want to consider adding this to the Vensim documentation, e.g. where the arrows on the bottom tool bar are mentioned.
