Cross-Hair Cursor
The cross-hair cursor is displayed when working in the Project window and in the editors,
facilitating navigation and editing, especially when arranging large projects.
●
You can set up the cross-hair cursor in the Preferences dialog (Editing—Tools page).
You can set up the colors for the line and the mask of the cross-hair cursor, and define its
width.
The cross-hair cursor works as follows:
●
When the Object Selection tool or one of its subtools is selected, the cross-hair cursor
appears when you start moving/copying a part/event, or when using the event trim
handles.
Cross-hair cursor when moving an event.
●
When the Object Selection tool, the Cut tool, or any other tool that makes use of this
function is selected, the cross-hair cursor appears as soon as you move the mouse over
the event display.
●
The cross-hair cursor is only available for tools where such a function is of any use. The
Mute tool, for example, does not use a cross-hair cursor, as you have to click directly on an
event to mute it.
Edit History Dialog
The Edit History dialog contains a list of all your edits. This allows you to undo all actions in the
Project window as well as in the editors.
● To open the Edit History dialog, select Edit> History.
The Action column displays the name of the action while the Time column tells you when this
action was performed. In the Details column further details are shown. Here you can enter new
text by double-clicking in the column.
