When editing, you may want to rotate an item, for example, in order to place it in the best position on the board, or you may want to know the basic keyboard shortcuts to make your life easier? We will cover all of this in this section.
When placing a token, such as the zombie spawn token shown here 
, you can rotate the element to position it optimally.
A simple right click rotates the selected piece 90 degrees. The spawn point can therefore be rotated before being repositioned once the correct angle has been selected. Note that the status bar 
gives you not only the name of the selected element but also its current orientation.
Keep in mind that, like almost everything else, the available rotation angles are set by the package, and therefore by its author. For example, in Zombicide V2, it is impossible to adjust the orientation of survivor entry points or the tokens representing them. This same rotation may be limited; one can imagine certain specific items that can only be positioned at 0 or 180 degrees, for example.
The (first) keyboard shortcuts
Once an item has been placed on the game board, you can always retrieve it. To do so, hold down the CTRL key. When you move the mouse, you will notice that the cursor has now taken the form of a quadruple arrow. 
. This indicates that you are about to enter selection mode, which allows you to retrieve an item from the editing area.
Simply click on the desired item while holding down the CTRL key, and you will retrieve it from the editing area. Understand that you will remove the item from the editing area and take it back into your “hands,” as if you had selected it from the list.
You can also duplicate an item. Simply hold down the SHIFT key. When you move the mouse, your cursor will take the form of an open hand. 
. This indicates that you are about to enter duplicate mode, which allows you to duplicate an item in the editing area.
Simply click on the desired item while holding down the SHIFT key, and you will copy it from the editing area. Understand that you will take it back into your “hand,” as if you had selected it from the list, while leaving the original item in the editing area.
