We make extensive use of the right mouse button. Most functions have naturally paired operations. Most paired functions are natural opposites (like left/right, in/out, first/last, previous/next). We take advantage of this symmetry to double up the functions of most buttons and other clicks. This not only reduces desktop usage but also results in more natural, easier to remember functions.
For example, rather than having both a SEARCH LEFT and SEARCH RIGHT button, we have a SEARCH button. Left clicking the button will SEARCH LEFT; right clicking will SEARCH RIGHT.
After only a few minutes of use, this becomes much more natural than using separate buttons. Switching directions involves pressing different mouse buttons rather than moving the mouse to a new button in the application. All buttons in the tool bar above the Waveform View are dual-function except the Menu button and Link Group indicator. Additionally, you will find that left and right clicking in Waveform Views on the " < " and " > " symbols, Marker column and various other areas will perform similarly paired functions.

Link Group Indicator
This indicates which link group the view is assigned to. The primary and secondary Waveform views are permanently assigned to Link Group 1 and 2 respectively. Any additional Waveform Views can be assigned to any link group.
A small arrow will be present in the lower right corner of the indicator if assignment is available. Left-Click on this indicator to change the group assignment (see Using Link Groups).
