Option-clicking in the close box of any open window closes all open windows. (You will be asked if you want to save any windows which need saving.)
In dialogs that have lists of items with checkboxes beside them, option-clicking in a checkbox will change all checkboxes at once. This applies to the following dialog boxes:
-Protein Analysis Toolbox
-Coding Preference Plots
-Generate Transcript
-Graphics floating palette
If you option-click on an unchecked checkbox, all checkboxes in that column are turned on, whether they were on before or not. If you option-click in a checked checkbox, all checkboxes in that column are turned off.
In dialogs that have "disclosure triangles" for expanding lists, option-clicking on a closed triangle will open the selected level and all sublevels. This applies to the following dialog boxes:
Symbol Editor
-Graphics floating palette
All dialogs can be OKed by pressing the Return or Enter keys. If you are typing in a dialog box that contains a multi-line edit field (for example, the Feature Table editor dialog box) then Return will insert a new line and not close the dialog box, but the Enter key always acts as a click on the OK button.
Typing command-period or pressing the Escape key is equivalent to clicking the Cancel button.
In graphical result windows, after zooming in to view a portion of a sequence, the entire sequence can be viewed again by double-clicking in any blank area of the window. This applies to the following windows:
-All graphic map feature maps and result windows
-All histogram and line plot windows
-All dot plot (i.e. matrix analysis) output windows
-Annotated sequence text windows
