Which combination is used to scroll the Edit window horizontally by dragging in the ruler area with the Zoomer tool?

• A. Ctrl-click (Mac) or Windows-Click (Windows) and drag on a track with the Zoomer tool
• B. Command-click (Mac) or Ctrl-Click (Windows) and drag on a track with the Zoomer tool
• C. Option-click (Mac) or Alt-Click (Windows) and drag on a track with the Zoomer tool
• D. Shift-click (Mac) or Shift-Click (Windows) and drag on a track with the Zoomer tool

Answer: (A)

Dragging with the Zoomer tool in the Edit window’s ruler area is designed for zooming, but you can switch its behavior to horizontal scrolling by using a modifier key. Hold Ctrl on Mac (or the Windows-equivalent modifier) and drag in the ruler area with the Zoomer tool to scroll left or right across the session without changing the zoom level. This combination makes navigation efficient when you need to move quickly through a long arrangement. The other modifier keys change how the tool behaves (often affecting zoom or other actions), so they won’t produce the horizontal scroll in the ruler area with the Zoomer tool.
