PV Triggers

Triggers starting with "pv trigger input" can only be used for data input action ("pv input trigger" property constant).
Triggers starting with "pv trigger selection" can only be used for data selection action ("pv select trigger" property constant).
Other triggers can be used for both data input and selection actions. They also can be used with the "pv drag trigger" property constant. Triggers constants can be added in order to authorize several keys. When the same trigger is set for both data input and selection actions, the input trigger has priority.
The wording "ctrl" refers to the Ctrl key under Windows and the Command key under MacOS.
