Cursor keys don't work in the editor?

I searched the forums and TDN and didn't see this anywhere else... sorry if it's a redundant question. :-)

I can't seem to scroll around the editor for TGB using the arrow keys (or wasd, or the number pad). In fact, I can't seem to scroll at all. I'm talking about development in the editor, not while playing or testing a game.

The docs also say that the [ and ] keys zoom in and out... but that doesn't work either. The only thing that seems to work for moving around the editor is the scroll wheel on my mouse.

This happens with every project, although I'm spending most of my time in the Adventure Kit. Is there a configuration file that is set to something wonky on my machine?

Hey GamerGirl.

You can use ctrl - or ctrl + to zoom in and out (scrollwheel does this too as you've figured out) and clicking and holding the right mouse button over the stage will allow you to move the stage around.

That's exactly what I needed--thanks! :-)
