Understanding Peek

Among 3 different types of moves

1. Goto - leave the old region and move to a new region

2. Add - additionally select a new region

3. Peek - tentatively move to a new region without selecting it

Peek does not affect selections. You can first move to a region and then decide whether to select or de-select it.

Understanding Go

How Go affects selections depends on its previous command

• If the previous command is Goto, to Go is to Goto

• If the previous command is Add, to Go is to Add

• If the previous command is Peek, to Go is to Peek

• If no previous commands, to Go is to Goto
