 This is the main view in JOSM, where editing takes place, and Landsat and other images are displayed.
 
-The area displayed in the window can be moved by holding down the right mouse button, and dragging the mouse.  On a Mac with a one-button mouse, simulate right-click by holding down '''{{{Ctrl}}}''' while clicking the button.

+The area displayed in the window can be moved by holding down the right mouse button, and dragging the mouse. (On a Mac with a one-button mouse, simulate right-click by holding down **`Ctrl`** while clicking the button.)
 
-You can zoom using the scroll wheel and if you hold it down like it was a mouse button a popup menu will be shown that allows you to select objects that are on top of each other. You can Ctrl+Alt+Left Click to cycle through these objects without having to use the popup. If the latter doesn't work on Ubuntu systems, it's likely the key combination is catched before it is passed to JOSM. To fix this issue, start the gconf-editor (it's a GUI app but not present in Ubuntu's default menus) and go to Apps → Metacity → General. Change the setting "mouse_button_modifier" to something else.
+=== Zoom ===
+You can zoom using the scroll wheel or the `Plus`- and `Minus`-keys. Alternatively there is an extra [Action/Zoom zoom mode] and several other direct zoom actions in the [Menu/View view menu].
