Fix fabricated shortcuts and behaviors across four pages
Audited every English wiki page against source this session. Pages
already citing specific source files (variables.md, autonumbering.md,
element_editor.md, preferences.md, collection_browser.md and others
fixed earlier) held up under spot-checking. The four pages here had
none of that discipline applied and each repeated the same class of
fabricated claim, now checked and corrected:
- **Rotate is Space, not R.** R isn't bound to anything in the diagram
editor -- checked ShortcutManager's registry directly.
- **Zoom in/out is the platform's standard zoom key, not bare +/-.**
QKeySequence::ZoomIn/ZoomOut, not a literal + or - keypress.
- **Double-click on an element or wire opens its Properties dialog,
not an inline text box.** Checked directly:
QetGraphicsItem::mouseDoubleClickEvent() and
Conductor::mouseDoubleClickEvent() both call editProperty(). Type
Checked directly against ShortcutManager's registry, the menu
mnemonics, and the diagram/element editor keyPressEvent() handlers --
not assumed from the UI. States the one real gap plainly: placing a
new element from the Collections panel still requires a mouse drag,
verified by checking what double-click actually does there (opens
the Element Editor, not placement).
