‌Mouse Operations

In the left or right preset panes:

 Click a disclosure triangle to display (or not) its child presets.

 Click not on something: clear the selection.

 Drag to reposition the gutters between the left and right panels, or in value-display mode, the gutter between the names and the value.

 Shift-drag on a preset and continue dragging up or down to additional presets to select several adjacent at once. All selected presets must always have the same direct parent.

 Control-click a preset to toggle its selection status.

 Start dragging one or more preset(s) (with no shift or control key held) to copy or move them to another location. Copy is normal for dragging to a different parent, holding shift performs a move. Move is normal for dragging in the same parent, holding shift performs a copy. Valid drag targets light up green, or careful placement reveals a short horizontal line to indicate placing them between those presets. Dragging a preset onto a target of the same name and type copies or moves the content (values and child presets) to that target. [Using the control key creates or removes links; this is not currently recommended.]

 Double-click a preset’s name to navigate into that preset. Its full path becomes visible at the top of the pane; you can use the left and right arrow buttons and keys (include control-Up-arrow) to navigate in that history.

 Click and hold a preset’s name field to bring up a dialog to change the name.

In the value pane:

 Shift-drag on a name/value row to select several adjacent values.

 Control-click to toggle the selection status.

 Click to select a value. If not already selected, other already-selected values will be unselected.

 With one or more values selected, you can drag them to a different place in the order. This can be used to affect the order of some items in the user interface, such as the display order of view layouts, rooms, safe areas,etc, though you may have to wait for some parts of SynthEyes to reload to see the effect (restarting always an option). Beware: reordering some values can result in SynthEyes crashing or other strangeness, such as if you reorder colors, which are indexed numerically.
