REW V5 Tips

I thought a few tips on REW V5 might be in order, I'll start with some people may not have
come across. Feel free to add any tips of your own.

Measurement (.mdat) files can be opened by dragging them onto the REW window
Filter set (.req) files can be opened by dragging them onto the EQ window
Move between measurements with Alt+UP and Alt+DOWN, go directly to a specific
measurement with ALT+1 or 2 or 39
Move between graphs with Ctrl+LEFT and Ctrl+RIGHT, go directly to a specific graph
with Ctrl+1 or 2 or 39
Hover over the name of a measurement in the overlay panel to bring up a tool tip
showing the measurement notes
Move the cursor over the name of a trace to highlight that trace in the graph
If a measurement has been modified its name is shown in blue on the measurements
panel
Use Ctrl+Shift+3 to apply 1/3rd octave smoothing, repeat to remove the smoothing
Use the Restore Last Removed entry in the file menu to recover a measurement that
was removed by mistake
Right click in the overlay window legend area to bring up a menu that allows clearing
or setting all trace selections
Under Windows double-clicking on an mdat file opens a new instance of REW and
loads the file. To make files open in a single REW instance tick the "Prevent Multiple
REW Instances" box in the View preferences
