Hold the left button still (long-press on touch) or right-click › Select Other… to list everything under the cursor: sketch points and curves ("Line 3", "Point (arc 2 centre)"), vertices, edges, faces, bodies, profiles, planes and axes, filtered like a click and by the open dialog's active input. Hovering a row lights it up; clicking selects it (Shift/Ctrl add) or feeds the dialog. A repeat click on the same spot with nothing changed selects the next thing there; a double-click keeps its own actions.

A left press with Ctrl (or Cmd) held, no Shift or Alt, on empty space orbits
for that press, unless the preset binds Ctrl+left itself. It only orbits
once the pointer moves: a Ctrl+click still adds to the selection, and
Ctrl+drag on sketch geometry still drags it without snapping. Works with a
tool active, without adding geometry. Ctrl+box selection from empty space
becomes the orbit; Shift+box selection still adds.
Preferences › Navigation and the UI tour mention it. Test drives every
preset through real pointer events.

Two-finger scroll pans the model instead of zooming; pinch-to-zoom
zooms toward the cursor and honors reverse zoom. Trackpad scrolls
arrive bracketed (Start..End, momentum included) while mouse wheels
send bare moves, so phases tell them apart: bracketed gestures pan,
bare vertical input zooms and bare horizontal input pans (thumb wheel).
Mouse line/page input keeps zooming, and ui.scroll now sends line
input so scripts and agents are unaffected. New Navigation preference
'Two-finger scroll pans' (default on) restores the old behaviour
when off.
Navigation presets are now a table of bindings (button, required modifier
keys, camera mode) instead of string matches. The Alias preset binds
Shift+Alt+left to orbit, Shift+Alt+middle to pan and Shift+Alt+right to
zoom. A left press with a binding's keys is latched until release, so that
drag neither box-selects nor drags sketch geometry; plain left drags behave
as before. Shift only requests snapping when the binding without Shift
still orbits.
The scenario harness sends Alt with ui.drag/ui.click, and camera checks can
assert panned/zoomed since the last camera step. The user guide notes Alt+drag
grabs by KDE and GNOME and how to free them.

An mdBook under docs/book: a user guide (getting started, UI tour, sketching, features,
parameters, components and joints, sheet metal, plastic, files, shortcuts, MCP) and a developer
guide (CONTRIBUTING, architecture, command engine, kernel boundary, persistent naming, test
harnesses, and the existing docs/*.md pages). `cargo xtask book` generates the command reference
from `solvecraft-cli commands` and renders the screenshots with `solvecraft-cli snapshot`, then
runs mdbook. .github/workflows/pages.yml publishes the book at /solvecraft/ and the web app at
/solvecraft/app/ (skipped while the repository is private). .github/workflows/ci.yml runs
`cargo xtask ci` on pull requests. README and Help → Documentation link to the book.
