Some KineBody Pro functions are enhanced by use of ‘modifier keys’: by holding the Shift, Ctrl and/or Alt keys, while dragging or clicking/tapping. Other functions are activated (only) by special keystrokes. This page provides a full list of the functions and their associated keys.
If you're using an Android device, you can use these capabilities by connecting a USB or Bluetooth keyboard to it.
