Adjusting a potentiometer

Such a simple thing, yet I can't find an explanation about how to do it. What keystrokes/mouse movements do I use to adjust the wiper position of a potentiometer?

The simulator is run just once and does not react live to modification.

So, the procedure is to run the simulation, then get out and back to the Build mode, modify the wiper position, and re-launch the simulation.

Unless I missed how to automatically react to a live modification.

OK ... thanks for this, but then HOW do I modify the wiper position? Hotkey, mouse scroll wheel? Couldn't find this in the documentation.
