Keyboard Accelerators

Mouse Operations

Below is basic information about how to use the three-, two-, and one-button mouse (or trackpad) on Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms to perform basic interaction operations in Slicer:

Cross Reference

Holding down the Shift-Key while moving the mouse in any Slice Viewer will cause other Slice Viewers to scroll to the same position. This feature can be combined with cross-hairs.

Crosshairs

Crosshairs are available for precise cross-correlation between Sliceviewers. Their appearance can be changed. In Navigation mode a box at the center of the crosshair allows to center the other Sliceviewers to that location by clicking and dragging the box.

Window & Level

  • Left-click & drag in a Slice Viewer adjusts Window / Level.
    • Adjust the level by moving the mouse vertically
    • Adjust the window by moving the mouse horizontally
  • An interface with sliders and numeric input fields is available in the Volumes Module for more precise controls.

Opacity blending

  • Ctrl (Apple-Command.png on the Mac) & Left-click & drag in a Slice Viewer adjusts opacity.
    • Adjust the foreground opacity by moving the mouse vertically
    • Adjust the labelmap opacity by moving the mouse horizontally
  • An interface with sliders and numeric input fields is available in the Slice View Controller for more precise controls.
Crosshair-Toolbar
A variety of crosshair modes are available in Slicer

Rotate, Zoom, Pan

2-button Left-click & drag Right-Click & vertical drag Shift+Left-Click & drag

1-button Mac Left-click & drag Apple-Command.png(command)+Left-Click & vertical drag Shift+Left-Click & drag
Trackpad Mac Left-click & drag two-fingers & vertical drag Shift+Left-Click & drag

Selecting & Manipulating

Mousing over any "pickable" object in any of Slicer's viewers will cause the cursor to change from a "pointer" into a "picking hand". When the cursor shows a picking hand, left-clicking and dragging the mouse will pick and manipulate the object. Releasing the mouse button will de-select the object.

Mouse Modes

Slicer has two mouse modes: Transform, and Place. The icons in the mouse mode toolbar at the top of the main GUI allow to switch between these mouse modes and to modulate their behavior.
  • Transform mode is the default interaction mode. This mode allows interactive rotation (3D viewer only), pan/translation and zoom (see above).
  • Place mode allows to place one object then switches modes back to Transform mode. Place mode can be made persistent by clicking the checkbox adjacent to place mode. This allows to place multiple objects (e.g. fiducials).
    • Fiducial is the default object in Place mode
    • Ruler and Region Of Interest (ROI) Widgets are other available objects in the Place Mode menu.

Keyboard Accelerators

  • On Mac OS X use the Command key (Apple-Command.png) instead of the Control (Ctrl) key
  • fn-Delete is used for Forward Delete on built-in keyboards of portable Macs

b or f Decrease or increase visible slice in the active Slice Viewer (left or down) by one unit of background pixel spacing
` (back-tick) 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) Navigate to next fiducial in all Slice Viewers, independent of their linked state
Shift+` (back-tick) Navigate to the previous fiducial in the active Slice Viewer, or in all viewers if they are linked
Ctrl+Shift+` (back-tick) Navigate to the previous fiducial in all Slice Viewers, independent of their linked state
p Place a new fiducial in the active Slice Viewer(adds to the current fiducial list, or creates a list if there are none)
Backspace When the mouse is hovering over a fiducial in the Slice Viewer (turning it yellow), delete that fiducial
(forward)Delete When the mouse is hovering over a fiducial in the Slice Viewer (turning it yellow), delete that fiducial
