Hi Jenny,
I should have added - a right click in the same place takes you
backwards through the list of siblings.
Do you know you can click to the side of a spouse to cycle through
their spouses? and to the side of parents to bring up another set of
parents when there is more than one set?
Clicking to the left of the children takes you down a tree through
the preferred children in each generation. That's why it's worth
setting direct lines for all persons of interest. Set your own last
and where they cross, the last set overrides the former. For
example, if a name in an email catches my eye but I'm not sure why
it's familiar and I look it up and wonder why that person is in my
tree, I click down the generations until I come up with someone more
familiar. (Because some of my relatives were very early European
immigrants to South Australia, I have a lot of people in my database
not related to me. I'm interested in the community surrounding my
families in South Australia and tend to trace each marriage partner
back to immigration. So often I find I already had another member of
the family already entered in an earlier generation.)

With siblings, this is easiest done by placing one in the main
position in Family View and then clicking in between the main
couple to go to the next sibling of the highlighted individual.
That's brilliant - I didn't know you could do that!
