Moving around the table

The felt fills the whole viewport and, by default, fits your table to the screen. These gestures move the camera and let you grab several components at once — none of them change the game state, so explore freely.

Zoom, pan, and fit

The zoom cluster sits in the bottom-right corner of the felt and fades in when you hover the surface: + and magnify in and out, and the fit button (the expand icon) snaps back to the default framing that shows the whole table. The percentage readout is 100% at the fit home.

A press that starts on a component or a control keeps its own behaviour (it drags the piece, not the camera), so you never pan by accident when you meant to move something.

Full screen and rotating the table

The rail’s Full screen button (and the immersive-mode key) hides the surrounding chrome so the felt bleeds to every edge. In full screen a small control cluster appears: Exit, Undo, End Turn, and Rotate. The Rotate button turns the entire view 90° each press, cycling 0° → 90° → 180° → 270° — useful when you are sitting on the side of a shared screen and want the board oriented toward you.

Selecting several components at once

Hold Shift and drag across bare felt to draw a marquee — a rubber-band box that selects every component it touches. The highlighted set then drags as a single group, so you can gather scattered pieces and move them together. A plain click on empty felt clears the selection. Lassoing over a deck grabs the whole pile, not just its top card.

Hold to magnify, hold to preview

Two momentary keys let you take a closer look without changing anything — hold to engage, release to snap back:

KeyWhile held
M (magnify)Zooms in on the area under the cursor, then returns to your previous view on release
V (preview)Enlarges the single component under the cursor so you can read it — and it respects hidden faces, so you never see a card you shouldn’t

These are the defaults; every player shortcut is rebindable under Account → Keyboard shortcuts, and the rail’s Keyboard shortcuts button (or ?) opens a reference of the current bindings. The full hotkey set for acting on components is covered in handling pieces & cards.
