-The panner control, located at the upper left side of the window, is used to
-adjust what portion of the layout is seen in the Layout area. The outer
-rectangle of the panner represents the whole layout (extended to have the
-panner aspect ratio), while the inner control rectangle represents the
-portion seen through the Layout area. Slowly drag this part around with
-the mouse (@emph{Btn1}) to see how it pans the layout. Release the panner
-control, but leave the pointer within the outer most rectangle of the
-control. Now hit a few keyboard arrow keys. Each arrow key moves the region
-seen one-half window size in the arrow direction. If you want to see a
-portion of the layout that is off the top of the screen, you need to
-drag the panner up, or hit the up arrow key.

-Move the pointer back into the Layout area.
-Increase the zoom by hitting the @emph{Z} key. See how the inner part of
-the panner becomes smaller to reflect that you are viewing a smaller
-part of the layout. Now zoom out by hitting @emph{Shift-Z}. If you
-hit the arrow key with the pointer in the Layout area, it moves
-the pointer rather than scrolling the window. In general the keyboard
-shortcuts depend on which region of @code{Pcb's} window the pointer
-is over. For the most part, the key strokes in this manual refer to
-the case when the pointer is in the Layout area. You can do fine
-scrolling in the Layout area by dragging it directly with the
-Panner tool. Press the @emph{Escape} key to select the panner tool.
-Now drag in the layout area with @emph{Btn1} down. You can scroll the drawing
-window while the pointer is inside it with @emph{Mod-Arrow}
-keys.
-
-If you are moving or drawing an object and go beyond the drawing
-window borders, the window will auto-scroll. If you want to stop
-the auto-scrolling while the pointer is outside the Layout area,
-simply pass the pointer briefly over the panner control area, or
-a menu button.
-
-Another way to navigate around a layout is with @emph{Shift-Btn3}.
-When pressed down, the layout will zoom so the whole extent of

-you release the button, but will be centered at the cross hair
