The qualifier key you press to drag the screen is set in the IControl preferences IIRC.

Another trick is to enable autoscrolling for the screen. That way, when it's too far down, you simply roll your rat to the bottom and keep moving down and the screen itself slides back into view :-)

But that makes him too dizzy to do anything else :-P

Did you also know that LAmiga+N brings WB to the front, without the need for cycling through many screens to find it :-)


Also a good tip. Left amiga M cycles through the screens sequentially.

Another left amiga pair of shortcuts are for "OK" and "Cancel" in standard requesters. I might have the order reversed, but left amiga V is the shortcut for "OK", left amiga B the shortcut for "Cancel". I think :-)

Screen dragging is something I miss since getting a gfx card. It's just one of those totally uniqe amiga things :-)
