When using the pencil tool on the canvas, students can hold down the Alt key to draw smoothly without needing to press and hold a trackpad or mouse button.

This is especially helpful for:

  • Students using keyboard-only setups

  • Students who struggle with fine motor control

  • Devices where holding down a trackpad is physically tiring or inconsistent

This offers a seamless, accessible way to engage with visual problem-solving in Magma, making digital math more inclusive.
