Keyboard Shortcuts for Ports
You can use keyboard shortcuts to work with ports.
When you select a port, you can edit the port and link the port to other ports. When a port is selected, the entire port appears green. A dotted line also appears around one port value of the selected port indicating that the port is in focus. You can focus on a port while allowing other ports to be selected. Move the focus from one port to another port when you want to select multiple ports individually.
