Back to Slicer 4 Developer projects

Note: this page is work in progress.

Application Hot-keys (keyboard accelerators)

  • Alt-Left + mouse button should always be available as a substitute for the middle mouse button to support two button mice. On Mac, you can also use the command key + mouse click to get middle mouse events.
  • Control-Left + mouse button should always be available as a substitute for the right mouse button to support one button mice (on Mac).

Warning Warning: Developers: Please note the following reserved key combinations!

General

Key(s) Action bound to key(s)
Ctrl+O Load a new scene (clears existing scene)
Ctrl+A Import a scene (does not clear existing scene) Brings up Add Data instead
Ctrl+W Close a scene
Ctrl+H Set the current module to be the "home" module -- the module that's exposed when Slicer starts up.
Ctrl+Z Undo the last undoable action
Ctrl+Y Redo the last lightpinkoable action
Space-key Toggles the display of Slicer's Edit Box.
Ctrl+P Display the Python console Displays the QT-real console
Ctrl+L Create a new fiducial list.
Ctrl+I Toggle between "Persistent Place" and "Transform View" interaction modes.
Ctrl+M Create a new Ruler measurement between the last two placed fiducials.

Slice Viewer Hot-keys (keyboard accelerators)

Key(s) Action bound to key(s)
` (back-tick key) Navigate to next fiducial in the active Slice Viewer, or in all viewers if they are linked (back-tick is the left single-quote on the key with the tilde (~) character in the upper left side of the keyboard)
Ctrl+` (back-tick key) Navigate to next fiducial in all Slice Viewers, independent of their linked state
Shift+` (back-tick key) Navigate to the previous fiducial in the active Slice Viewer, or in all viewers if they are linked
Ctrl+Shift+` (back-tick key) Navigate to the previous fiducial in all Slice Viewers, independent of their linked state
p-key Place a new fiducial in the active Slice Viewer(adds to the current fiducial list, or creates a list if there are none)
o-key Turn on the Slice Plane reformat widget in the active Slice Viewer
v-key Toggles the slice plane visibility in the main 3D Viewer
r-key Fits the slice view to the volume extents in the active Slice Viewer, or in all viewers if they are linked (the first non-none volume will be used in order of Background, Foreground and Label layers)
b-key Decrement slice in the active Slice Viewer (left or down) by one unit of background pixel spacing
f-key Increment slice in the active Slice Viewer (right or up) by one unit of backgroun dpixel spacing
Backspace-key When the mouse is hovering over a fiducial in the Slice Viewer (turning it yellow), delete that fiducial
Delete-key When the mouse is hovering over a fiducial in the Slice Viewer (turning it yellow), delete that fiducial

Sliders and mouse

  • Every click is 1 step, and 1 step is 1 slice (if there are multiple volumes (Labelmap/Back/Foreground, then its the smallest spacing of the 3 that is used).
  • Middle click directly jumps to the mouse.
  • Home/End keys go to the beginning/end.

Global "hot-keys"

Window Behavior

Action Slicer4 Key Slicer3 Key Meaning
Toggle Maximize current window Control-m Make the current Slice or 3D View expand to full view space or return to previous size depending on current state

Navigating Application

Action Slicer4 Key Slicer3 Key Meaning
Application Menu Space Bar Brings up a popup menu with all the application operations and their key binding information
Module Navigation Control-<number> Jumps to the numbelightpink module (number order is the same as the order of the shortcut icons in the toolbar at the top of the application.
Move through module history Control-PageUp/PageDown Short cuts for the two arrow buttons next to the module popup menu
Search for Module Control-F Starts an incremental search through the module names and descriptions, terminated by Enter to jump to the module. Probably needs a dialog box.
