Is there anyway to manipulate Airport Charts without using the mouse?

I use Plan-G on a Laptop with a touch-pad and I can't see anything in the manual.

If you though zooming the airport chart, you can use Easy Scroller (http://rhdesigns.browseto.org/easyscroller.html) for emulating mouse scroll wheel by keyboard. Then you can scroll up by Page Up and down by Page Down. To emulate whole mouse on numeric keypad you can use application Mouse Emulator (http://rhdesigns.browseto.org/mouseemulator.html).

Thanks for that. The Easy Scroller works well, just as you described.

Unfortunately it's another application to have to run, on top of Plan-G, WideClient, Sqwawkbox, VatSpy and Teamspeak. It would have been nice to be able to use Plan-G without "external assistance".

That aside, I have to second everyone else in praising Plan-G 2. The new features, Airport Charts included, have been well worth the wait.
