I totally agree on this one, all the features should be reachable without
using any key-combo, that are indeed usefull, but only as shortcut, not as
the only way to do things.

You can resize a bryce using ctrl+mouse wheel. Indeed there should be

There is both a digital and an analog clock for bryce...strange that
you did not find them :/
