Feature Friday: Snaps!
Visualize Your Controls
- Snaps are snapshots of cards shown in tRev's Object Browser.
- Snaps can be turned on or off via a Column Button called Snap.
- Snap buttons are beneath the Object Browser's Cards and Controls columns.
Get to Editing Faster
- Click a line item in Controls to place orange rect around the control in card's Snap.
- Click a control in a Snap and its line item in Controls list hilites.
- Double-click any control in the Snap to edit it in tRev.
- Hold down shift to inspect its properties in Rev.
Look, Mom—No Mouse!
- Typing return or enter is the same as double-clicking a Snap's control.
- Use the arrow keys to navigate the Controls list and work mouse-less.
- Your mother will be proud. Fathers are harder to please.
Safety, Power, Convenience
- When you click on a Snap to select a control, it cannot be moved or altered—only edited.
- Click an invisible control in the list and you will see its rect in the Snap.
- Click an off-screen control in the list and you will see its rect in the Snap if it's nearby.
- Click a disabled control in the Snap and it will become selected in the list.
Gather Images for Documentation
- Shift-click a Snap and it gets saved to your clipboard as a JPEG.
- Entire image of the card is included with a gray 1 pixel border.
- You'll get visual (flash) and aural (shutter sound) feedback indicating success.
Quick Keys
- Single keystroke shortcuts for Object Browser are now called Quick Keys.
- Quick Key for turning Snap on or off is p as in 'snap a picture' of a card.
- Quick Key for Snap will not work unless Cards or Controls column is active.
Your Brain on Snaps
- With Snaps you can use both sides of your brain: spatial and analytical.
- Anecdotal evidence indicate an effect approximating hedonic hypersynchrony.
Fixed This Week
- After cmd+f, cut, copy & paste shortcuts work in Find and Replace fields.
- Column button Delete now actually works after its warning dialog appears.
To get all this goodness...
