    Default Keyoard shortcuts: Mac vs. PC

    Hello,
    After using Freeheand in Windows as well as Mac I have been encountering some difficulties with keyboard shortcuts.
    I frequently used clicking while holding keys for special functions on the Mac, such as: the apple button to grab an object, the alt button to grab an object out of a group, the shift button to grab several things at one time and the ctrl button to grab objects that lie beneath other objects.
    When working in Windows however, the function of the apple button is replaced by ctrl and I haven't found a way to grab objects beneath other objects in Windows.
    I would appreciate any help, thank you.

    At least in FH8 for Windows, Ctrl-Right Click selects objects behind other
    objects. May still do so in later versions as well.
