Getting Started
- Try loading one of the preset layouts from the dropdown at the top of the page; it will give you a good idea of the editor's capabilities.
- Select a key in the editor by clicking on it; then try changing the various properties in the property-editor form.
- You can select multiple keys by holding down CTRL and clicking on them, or extend the current selection by SHIFT-clicking on an item. You can also drag a marquee rectangle around the keys you want to select.
- Try the keyboard shortcuts (described below); they make editing various properties much quicker.
- You can save your layout to the server by clicking the 'Save' button on the toolbar.
- You can save your layout locally by bookmarking the 'Permalink' (at the top of the page) in your bookmarks list.
