Mouse and Keyboard Techniques

This page will inform about mouse and keyboard techniques usable in Reggie Level Editor.

Common shortcuts such as CTRL+A (Select All), CTRL+X (Cut), CTRL+C (Copy), and CTRL+V (Paste) will not be described here in further detail. For an in-depth explanation about the Reggie User Interface, see here: Reggie Interface.

Freezing or hiding objects (or tiles on specific layers) will cause such objects to be de-selected! This can be used to an advantage and is common level editing practice. Freezing or hiding objects is a powerful technique to select only specific types of objects, for example all sprites or all path nodes, or selecting all tiles that are on a specific layer.

All objects apart from tiles will show a Properties window when selected. Selecting multiple objects of any kind will cause the window to disappear.
