    How to find and use key commands in MM. For absolute beginners.

    • Some very useful key commands that often go unnoticed in MM.

    It is common enough that a new user will successfully install and run MM,
    only to be left wondering how to stop the MM process. Y’all know who you are. :^)

    The Alt key! And sometimes the Control key

    There are so many different platforms and OS’s being used for MM, but in MOST cases
    the Alt key will drop a Menu Bar at the top of MM while it is running. From there
    you can execute a host of commands by clicking through the menus. Here I have
    provided the key commands that have been most useful to me. They don’t even require that
    you to press the Alt key. Simply execute the key command while MM is running.

    Simultaneously means at the same time ;^)

    • Minimize MM = Control and M

    • Reload MM = Control and R

    • Open Dev Tools = Control and Shift and I (That’s an i)

    • Default Display Size = Control and 0 (That’s a zero)

    • Zoom In = Control and Shift and = (That’s an equals sign)

    • Zoom Out = Control and - (That’s a dash/minus sign)

    • Toggle Full Screen = F11

      @brandonbrown asked about toggling fullscreen today so I thought I would bring this topic to the attention of those that may not know about it. Someone will find it useful, hopefully.

          Yes, Ctrl and - zooms out. However, I believe it’s Ctrl Shift + to zoom in. I have that listed above as Control and Shift and =. ( = and +, same key)

              That is odd. My Pi mirror, running MM 2.1.0, requires the Shift key to Zoom In, but not out, as does my dev machine running MM 2.5.0 and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I just tested both. Go figure.
