The window arrangement in Figure 3-11 is called tiled. A cascaded arrangement places one
behind the other, slightly offset. nanoNavigator also permits maximizing, minimizing, or
closing any flow chart window by using its Window controls in the upper-right corner.

Editing Flow Charts
nanoNavigator provides intuitive Windows-style editing capability to move or cut and paste
flow chart blocks from one grid location to another. Many functions are available with a
mouse right-click, or use Standard toolbar buttons as described:
To select flow chart elements for editing:
1.
Click a block or connection to select it.
2.
To select multiple blocks or connections, do one of the following:
–
Select a rectangular area by pressing (hold down) the left mouse button, dragging
the cursor diagonally to size a rectangular area, and then releasing the mouse
button. This technique selects any cell that is partially included in the selection
rectangle. That means that the block in the cell and any flow lines connected to it
get selected.
–
Hold the <Ctrl> key while clicking blocks or connections. Clicking a selected block
or connection with the <Ctrl> key pressed deselects that object without deselecting
any others.
3.
Perform the action (such as cut, copy, move, or delete).
You can UnDo or ReDo edit operations until you perform an operation that clears the UnDo
Stack (see “UnDo and ReDo”, below).
3.5.1
Cut-Copy-Paste
After selecting the object(s), use the cut (<Ctrl>+<x>), copy (<Ctrl>+<c>), and paste
(<Ctrl>+<v>) shortcuts, the Standard toolbar buttons, or the “Edit” menu selections to speed
up flow chart development. With multiple flow charts open, it is possible to cut/copy and
paste from one flow chart to another.
3.5.2
UnDo and ReDo
nanoNavigator supports an unlimited number of UnDo and ReDo operations. You must
UnDo (or ReDo) operations one at a time in the order they were performed. UnDo cancels
the last edit operation (for example, deleting a block from a flow chart), and restores the flow
chart to its state before the previous operation. After performing an UnDo, you can perform
a ReDo. ReDo cancels the previous UnDo operation and restores the flow chart to its state
prior to the UnDo.
nanoNavigator stores UnDo and ReDo operations in separate stacks for each flow chart.
The UnDo stack is cleared (UnDo operations are no longer valid) when you do one of the
following:
–
Save a flow chart
By default, nanoNavigator is always in selection mode, except after clicking a block’s exit
connector anchor that doesn’t have a flow line connecting to another block (see
