Shift + mouse wheel: pan left and right
Horizontal mouse wheel: pan left and right
Drag on the map track: move the current viewport
Click on the map track outside the current viewport: jump to that region
Double-click empty space in the genome or annotation tracks: center that position in the window

Selection¶
Click a feature to select it
Click a read to select it
Double-click a feature or read to open its detailed panel action
Click and drag across the genome / annotation area to select a genomic region
Selection just selects the region for now; in future it will allow for things like copying and pasting highlighted sequence.
Temporary save/jump views¶
Pressing shift+1 will save the current position and zoom level. Pressing 1 later will jump back to that position/zoom. This works for the numbers 1-9, giving nine save slots.
