2D Grid Basics
Draw brush volume = LMB drag - draws a brush volume on the grid.
(De)Select a brush/object = Shift+LMB - selects/deselects objects.
Deselect all = Esc = deselects ALL items.
Move a selection = LMB drag active - active selections move based on grid view orientation.
Edit selection = LMB drag - click-drag the leading edge of a volume to increase/decrease size.
Cut/Clip selection = Ctrl+RMB - to place two or three 'clip points'; "Enter" to cut (Shift+Enter inverts cut).
Duplicate = Space Bar - duplicates a selection (alternative to Copy & Paste).
Strafe = RMB drag - moves view left/right, up/down.
Zoom = Shift+RMB drag - zooms the view in out relative to orientation.
Rotate = n/a - 2D grid does not rotate.
Change orientation = Ctrl+Tab - flips "Front" (XZ), "Side" (YZ) and "Top" (XY) orientation.

2D Grid Advanced
Select Group (single) = Alt+Shift+LMB - selects a func_group.
Select Group (multiple) = n/a (cf. 3D Camera Advanced)

3D Camera Basics
(De)Select (single) = Shift+LMB - selects/deselects individual items.
(De)Select (multiple) = Shift+LMB drag - selects/deselects multiple objects.
Rotate Camera = RMB drag - rotates around centre of view, "FPS look".

Up = D - moves Camera UP "Z" axis.
Down = C - moves Camera DOWN "Z" axis.
Rotate Up = A - rotates Camera UP relative to view
Rotate Down = Z - rotates Camera DOWN relative to view.

Assign texture to brush = Ctrl+MMB - assigns active texture to entire brush (all sides).
Assign texture to face = Shift+Ctrl+MMB - assigns active texture to individual brush face.

2D & 3D Advanced
Select 'type' = Shift+A - selects ALL of same object type or texture assignment.
Select (single) = Shift+LMB - selects single brush or object.
Select (multiple) = Shift+LMB drag - selects multiple objects in the same action.
