For sliding screen operation, hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse pointer toward the sliding screen, then assign a desired key to this operation. The WASD key functions similarly in running games like Temple Run.
| Function | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Zoom In/Out | Hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel. |
| Switch to Typing Mode | Click the switch  or press Alt + A. |
