The purpose of mouse in 2D mode is pointing, selecting and
moving objects in a map.

^3Every time mouse is pointing at one of these:
1. Nothing
2. Sector
3. Sector and wall
4. Sector and sprite
5. Wall (wall without sector - map is corrupt)
6. Sprite (sprite without sector - map is corrupt)

Some commands work differently depending on the currently selected object.
Press ALT to work with a wall or sprite instead of any adjacent sectors.

^3The mouse pointer always points at one of these objects:
1. wall
2. ceiling of sector
3. floor of sector
4. sprite
5. masked wall (non-transparent or semi-transparent wall between sectors)

It's important to understand this concept.
Some commands work differently depending on the "current object",
the object the mouse points at.
Some commands only manipulate the "current object", but other commands
manipulate the sprites and sectors which are "selected" in 2D mode.
Other commands work globally.

^3Mouse buttons:
^14LEFT^O         Lock the current object. The current object won't
                  change as long as the button is pressed.
^14LEFT+MIDDLE^O  Toggle mouselook
^14WHEEL^O        Change shade/visibility
^14LEFT+WHEEL^O   Change tile
^14RIGHT+WHEEL^O  Move object up/down

Additionally, there is UnrealEd-style mouse navigation in 3D mode
(toggle it with ^14F5^O) with the following bindings:
^14RIGHT^O        mouselook
^14LEFT^O         x: turning, y: move forward/back
^14LEFT+RIGHT^O   x: strafe left/right, y: move up/down
^14MIDDLE^O       y: move in viewing direction
  The console variable 'pk_uedaccel' changes the speed
  of navigation exponentially (valid values are 0-5).

^14LEFT+ALT^O     Move object up/down
^14LEFT+SHIFT^O   Pan ceiling/floor/wall
^14LEFT+SHIFT^O   Move sprite in horizontal plane
^14LEFT+CTRL^O    Scale wall texture or size of sprite
^14LEFT+CTRL^O    Change slope of sector
