Package: engauge-digitizer-doc
Version: document select mode
Severity: normal
For my first hour using engauge, I was annoyed by the lack of an
"undo" function. I had to edit the exported file manually to delete
bad points. And I *did* RTFM. Eventually I figured out Select Mode
by trial and error. That needs to be documented in at least two
places:
1) Please add something like this to the Manual Line Graph Tutorial just
before "export the curve points":
To delete a point, choose Select Mode (arrow on the tool bar),
select the point by clicking on it, and press "delete". You can
also drag selected points, or move them with cursor keys. For other
ways to select points, see <link>. To return to adding points,
choose Digitize Curve Point or Segment Fill mode.
2) The documentation for Select Mode explains how to select, but
doesn't say what can be done with the selected points. Please add
something like:
Selected points can be deleted with <del>, <backspace>, cntl-X, or
"Edit | Cut". They can be moved by dragging with the mouse or with
the cursor keys.
What else can you do with a selection? In particular, what
does "Edit | Copy" do?
